Almodovar seems to be experiencing an identity crisis, or maybe he dared to show us his deeply hidden pretensious obnoxious self. Moore and Q-tip didn’t help. From the star both actors sounded like reading a poorly rehearsed script, Moore, the most believable of the two, was more convincing, specially when pretending to care about someone else’s pain, however omnipresent in American White Culture. Book title references and author’s names where lost in an audience with 54% literacy level below 6th grade. By using the English language, Almodovar loss his Spanish voice, accent, witt, sarcasm, irony, tragicomic heart. From the start I wanted the movie to end and was happy when the predictable first “door” closing happened, the one moment it made me laugh. I love Almodovar’s work, and hope he goes back to his Spanish self.
