Synopsis

Pedro Almodóvar returns to the cinema with his twentieth film with a tribute to the women. 'Julieta' is a movie where the main protagonists are women but also an emotional, intimate and profound drama behind this story. The film, which initially was going to be called 'Silence', follows the story of a mother named Julieta and her daughter Antía suffering irreparable absence of Xoan, husband and father, causing a rift between the two women. Therefore, when the young Antia reaches the age of majority, she decides to leave the family home, leaving her mother completely desperate and looking for explanations. Julieta (Adriana Ugarte and Emma Suárez), the protagonist, will experience throughout her life, a road of no return, where fears and loneliness will be her companions. From 1985 to 2015, the woman suffer great absences of abandon of different people that have marked her life. A personal regression allow Juliet to do an introspective analysis of her own life but also human and women nature. Her best time in the 80 makes her see that her present life is a disaster that only a miracle could change. The film also stars Daniel Grao, Inma Cuesta, Michelle Jenner, Darío Grandinetti, Rossy de Palma, Susi Sánchez and Pilar Castro.

What the critics say average 6.9 from 8 outlets

  • 10 El MundoLuis Martínez Perfect deconstruction of the melodrama in a film so anomalous and sleep-walker as disturbing. Read
  • 8.0 FotogramasJordi Costa To meet the most complex Almodovar girl. (...) A work of rested maturity (...) it may be his more concentrated and accurate film. Read
  • 7.0 CinemaníaAndrea G. Bermejo Almodóvar's most literary film, the most contained and subtle (...) and this might be why the film doesn't have extreme plot twists, doesn't switch genre and doesn't have hyperbole. Read
