Bitter Christmas (Almodóvar 2026)

I didn't see The Room Next Door (should I?) but this looks it could be quite fab

Oh I loved The Room Next Door. It was beautiful.

Worried about that big "THE END" that comes up. Considering how its obviously one of his "not about me but obviously is" strand, he's not signposting his final film, is he?

I loved this, maybe more that the previous one.. but Im
a huge Almodovar fan and there’s only two or three that I haven’t absolutely loved (Kika is one, the comedy on the plane another).
My favorites are Law of Desire, High Heels and All about my mother

I'm afraid this one probably goes in the 'Yeah, I dont think I want to see this one ever again' pile. Some of the cinematography was beautiful, but the film was so meta it was re-referencing things that were already meta (if that makes sense).

On the plus side, Patrick Criado is beautiful and I want MORE of him.

 

[jivafox]

Hmm yeah this was a whole load of nothing by the end. Pain & Glory did the whole thing a lot better. This felt so slight I'm sure I must have missed something

I have a feeling my enjoyment of this was helped by having not seen an Almodóvar film before.

That and Beau delivering some Magic Mike. Going to set my flat on fire so that he comes over.
