WTF? Comparing anything to The Human Centipede is not doing a film any favours...

I saw it twice I think, it was... interesting, yes :p
It was good, weird, well written, but I'm not sure it's the best Amodovar...

I was creepy and weird but I thought it was good. I found the rape scenes very uncomfortable to watch but I suppose they were necessary for the rest of the film. The convoluted plot and the ways things tied up (and being in spanish) reminded me of a telenovela. And certainly makes you think.

9/10

I have been informed by akh43 and steve that watching this has broadened my horizons. On reflection it was very well acted I can't really say that I enjoyed it but it was a good film if that makes sense. The stunned silence by the audience said it all! 7/10
