"Julieta" may not be top-tier Almodovar, but a collaboration between him and Munro, two artists who have spent their lives going deep into the interior lives of women, shouldn't be overlooked.January 26, 2017
"Julieta" is a paean to longing, regret and the often painful experience of being human.January 25, 2017
"Julieta" is filled with Almodóvar's usual attention to vivid color (a turquoise turtleneck worn by young Julieta seems to add notes to the film's moody musical score), and to the ways women talk to each other.February 10, 2017
Suárez gives a searing performance in the lead role, her grief overwhelming her to the point where she physically wears it on her body.January 19, 2017
Pedro Almodóvar's latest isn't his strongest, but his vibrant, vivid world of women is always a great place to be.March 28, 2017
Almodóvar has made some powerful melodramas before, but here, working with a new crop of actors and unusually wishy-washy material, he doesn't quite pull it off.March 22, 2017
Despite its shorter length, the film never feels unfulfilled or abbreviated. Its terrific performances, beautiful narrative, and haunting score... are so immersive that decades of life go by without it ever dragging.March 29, 2017
Designed, acted and composed with characteristically admirable intention and intelligence, but it doesn't aspire to the pitch of delirium that distinguishes the director's most memorable work.March 31, 2017
Julieta has been called a departure for the filmmaker... It certainly is, if by "departure" we mean a really dull and convoluted movie as opposed to a good one.February 23, 2017
A very seductive film that explores the concepts of fate and the feeling of guilt. [Full review in Spanish]February 02, 2017
Almodóvar makes a game effort to replicate Munro's complex, nonchronological storytelling, though the three tales don't hang together as well as one might hope.January 12, 2017
The moral of the story is clear: watch out for morals. They corrode the aforementioned generosity and understanding, leaving us lonely and bereft.
