Mike P Williams’s review:
Creepy and shocking body horror, with a superb turn from Antonio Banderas as well as a strong performance by the stunning Elena Anaya.

I found myself saying "well that's fucked up" several times during this film.
Agreed. It'd be a five star film if it wasn't for all the rape.
See, I wasn't put off by those aspects; I found the whole film quite fascinating.
For me, it was the ending (final shots) that I didn't like. I'd have preferred a bit of ambiguity or subtlety from Almodóvar.
