An entertaining fantasy in which Almodovar returns to his
roots with themes of the power of motherhood and the blessing
of good friends. Starring Penelope Cruz, who has never looked
or acted better, as a prickly resourceful woman whose long-held
secret about the father of her teenage daughter is revealed
only upon the ghostly appearance of her dead mother.
It is very difficult to mesh fantasy with reality but with
great charm and a light touch, Almodovar shows exactly how
it is done.
