This is the first Almodovar movie that could be called boring.

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.

Despite his erotic fixations, Pedro Almodovar is the cinema's last true innocent.
– David Denby,
New York Magazine/Vulture,

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.

rotten:
The overall purpose of Live Flesh, the latest and reputedly most 'mature' work from Spanish bad-boy director Pedro Almodovar, remains engigmatic.
