Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This is the first Almodovar movie that could be called boring.
– Mick LaSalle,

rotten:
I can only conclude that the people who think Flower and Live Flesh represent the new, mature Almodovar think that his earlier pictures were immature.

fresh:
Despite his erotic fixations, Pedro Almodovar is the cinema's last true innocent.
– David Denby,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Almodovar, whose work here has newly sophisticated polish, appreciates the dark twists of this story along with the eroticism that bring heat to all the scheming.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The overall purpose of Live Flesh, the latest and reputedly most 'mature' work from Spanish bad-boy director Pedro Almodovar, remains engigmatic.
