This movie is a treat for the eyes and a feast of fun for the mind. I watched transfixed as one outrageously implausible event followed another, the frantic action bathed in those primary colors that are a trademark of Almodovar's visual style.
Pedro Almodovar can make plastic look sexy. I would watch his movies even if they had no plot, just for the sheer pleasure of his compositions and audacious color sense. But add a fascinating plot--like a bad dream that's fun, if you can imagine such a thing--and some downright brilliant acting, and you've got me voting "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" a solid ten out of ten.
Definitely one of the funniest films I've ever seen.
