Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Volver is rich, crazy, ambitious and filled with heaven and earth in a way that no other filmmaker can touch. It is a flawed beauty, but the beauty is so much more important than the flaws.

rotten:
The Return rattles its chains for a spell, but it doesn't linger -- it quickly leaves.
– Amy Biancolli,

fresh:
Pedro Almodovar whipstitches a movie from patches of those mother-daughter melodramas Mildred Pierce, Bellissima and Two Women and makes it seamless and original, funny as it is fierce, breathtaking as it is life-affirming.
– Carrie Rickey,

fresh:
It's clever and entertaining. It's marvelously deft, but never daffy. It works well enough, despite feeling like the most conventional film this great, envelope-pushing Spanish director has ever made.
– Roger Moore,

fresh:
Even if Volver sounds too high-concept for you, know that Almodovar is smart enough not to rest on laughs alone, extending his premise to dark, though occasionally tidy psychological territory.
