Pedro Almodóvar's first feature film in the English language (he's 75). I've only seen a couple of films - Volver and The Skin I Live In (both excellent). I'd like to see all his films.
Due to the subject matter being about assisted dying, I wasn't exactly looking forward to watching it, but actually it's not dour at all; it's essentially life-(& death)-affirming.
I've seen quite a lot of negative reviews, but I didn't find it boring at all. And I think it's deliberately not overly deep or emotional, just matter of fact, which I think is appropriate and really works.
