Customer Ratings & Reviews

What's there to critique about an Almdovar film? This movie is nearly flawless in every aspect. It's a superb foreign film which depicts family ties between mother and daughter that span over generations. Almodovar perfectly casts Cruz in the lead role, and she pulls it off well. This film is gripping and is sure to strike a chord when thinking about family. The film basically revolves around Cruz and the situations she's put in, including finding out whether her mother has really come back as a spirit to haunt her. This film is empowering for women with such strong female leads. I highly recommend you don't miss out.

anyone remotely familiar with pedro almodovar's previous work will undoubtedly vouch for his cinematic brilliance. to date, this may very well be one of his most gentle or heartfelt pieces which reinforces the importance of family bonds. volver is filled with intelligient dailgoue, frothy humor, & even a bit of suspense which should surely delight it's viewer. penelop cruz has given the best performance of her entire career & probability suggests we will more great things from her in the future. i can't speak highly enough of almodovar's latest. just see it if you haven't already!

I actually rented this movie first, and after seeing it I bought it. I have not seen a movie quite like it. A very different story line full of superstitions and really entertaining. Penelope did some great acting in this movie. Prior to watching this movie, I was not fond of her but she did very well in this role. It does very well in conveying the importance of family during struggles, but there may have been some parts where you just think they could have done something else to make it more realistic. Overall, I highly recommend this product!

totally awesome from the very begining to the very end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
