Julieta
Spain 2016, 96 minutes
Dir. Pedro Almodovar
In Spanish with English subtitles
Rating: [M] Sex scenes
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama
Feat. Emma Suarez, Adriana Ugarte
“It's no surprise that this is marvelous to look at, but it possesses just as much substance as style.”
Aroview: The complexities of a woman's past are unraveled after a chance encounter, in this loose adaptation of three short stories by Alice Munro. More restrained than Almadovar's usual offerings, this nonetheless plays to his strengths as a female-centric, multi-layered and expertly suspenseful melodrama.

3 stars (Good Enough) Almadovar signature camerawork, design & colours. But the skills are not matched by the weak plot. Should we merely conclude that fishermen's wives must stay at home? Not showing Julieta's meeting with her adult daughter is unsatisfying. ~Sandy
2 stars (Good Try) It looks good but it doesn't achieve much more than that. ~Tubbs
0 star (Not rated) Could not finish with VLC ~Anonz
