Despite the film's playfulness, it's still quite clear that we're in the hands of a master who takes the work seriously, if not the material or his characters.

[This is] Almodovar for people who assume they can't get Almodovar otherwise. It's Almodovar for Target.

A mescaline-alcohol-and-panic-fueled orgy of confessional dialogue, sex acts, arguments, confessional monologues, and more sex acts.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer

Too broad for the tarmac.
