Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The movie is full of familiar Almodovar fare, but it feels freshened.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
11 Dec 2002
fresh:
Though The Flower of My Secret is a slight work, it is a pleasing return to form.
– Caryn James,

20 May 2003
fresh:
An intimate, beautifully wrought work, it reflects a new maturity in Almodovar's work and is one of his best pictures.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
fresh:
It's a witty, intelligent scramble, and it's beautifully mounted.
– Edward Guthmann,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
Likely to be disappointing to Almodovar's admirers, and inexplicable to anyone else.
