Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

PodBill Just what I expected

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

cinemajesty Dearest Almodóvar:(I write this open letter out of courtesy in English.) Rocking the world of colors since the early 1980s with full frontal confrontations between the sexes. "Julieta" has become no exemption, yet the wild years with "Matador" (1986) or "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" (1989) seem harder and harder to be of exposure in your recent pictures. Nature as a destructive force as the bull-attack in "Talk To Her" (2002), marking the peak of a director/writer's career, which follows bio-metric cycles as life itself connected with an ocean's tide, calmness bringing shots in "Julieta". The 2016 version of an "Almodóvar Picture" gets between the gap of generations, entangles their emotions, first being a creek to jump over, nowadays a gorge with miles and miles to go around or building an cliff-hanging hard-wire of life-threatening proportions between children and their parents. As usual you keep a tight grip of your cast, which seems to the very last supporting role in care-taking hands. Yet "Julieta" strikes no nerves anymore as "The Skin I Live In" (2011) did with mask-ripping forces; tensions between the characters kept to an minimum, making the picture a pleasant one-time watch of your standard color balance in production design, leaving me wishing for another breakthrough cinematographic action as cameras hitting asphalt in "All About My Mother" (1999).Sincerely Yours,Felix Alexander Dausend

Jugu Abraham Before the end credits rolled out, my feeling was "At last a great film from Almodovar with a mesmerizing performance from Emma Suarez as the older Julieta." That feeling, unfortunately, was short lived. Almodovar had not written the story--many of his other works are his own. Almodovar had merely adapted the stories of Nobel Prize winning Canadian author Alice Munro. I have never read Munro to date but the depth of the story line urges me to do so fast. She is great!The film is also memorable for Emma Suarez' screen presence as the older Julieta. So was the choice of the music and the paintings used in the film. This is for me the most likable Almodovar film and yet it does not belong to him: it belongs to the Canadian lady. One got the feeling you were watching the filmed version of a modern day Dostoyevsky without the religion and Russian connections. Anyway thanks to you Mr Almodovar for your decision to make this film as also to Ms Sarah Polley for making "Away from Her," some 10 years ago, another film that used the writings of Ms. Munro.

texshelters "Julieta": The Ending DisappointsSPOILER! It's not that the ending to "Julieta" is ambiguous, as in "Inception" or "Bladerunner." And it's not that the climax occurred and we still don't know what's going to happen with the main character, whether the antagonist in "No Country for Old Men" or the protagonists in "The Graduate." The problem with "Julieta" is that Almodóvar sets up a climax and the film ends before we get there. It not only lacks a climax or ending, the film is an anti-climax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH5_4osOZK8It's a beautiful film and the dialogue is terse and dynamic. The set up is interesting and mysterious. We can't wait to see what happens when Julieta meets her estranged daughter who disappeared years earlier. Just as Julieta is driving to see her daughter at the address her daughter had mailed her, we see the ending title on the screen: JULIETA. You suck, Pedro Almodóvar, you suck big time! This anti-climax is a major fail and makes what was a good film into a terrible film. Did the director run out of ideas? Was it writer's block? Did he run out of funding or time? Or, what I believe, he's too clever for his film's good and decided to leave it. Whatever the reason, the lack of resolution to "Julieta" damages the movie beyond repair. The film didn't need to resolve itself, it needed to end in a way that was acceptable. Instead, her lover reads the last line of the film, not Julieta stating something enigmatic. The film is called Julieta, and she doesn't even have the last line. Sad. Rating: Rent it. It looks good and the dialogue is great. Just remember, you can turn it off anytime, since it won't get to an ending. Peace, Tex Shelters

adonis98-743-186503 After a casual encounter, a brokenhearted woman decides to confront her life and the most important events about her stranded daughter. I know that Julieta is a romantic and dramatic tale and sure it's trying to be that thing but the overall story for me at least felt a bit dull and even the 2 leading women that play the mother and daughter just don't have an interesting story as well. Also this does seem like a Pedro Almodóvar movie because here and there it's bit cheesy and over the top and sure the overall plot might sound a bit interesting but the whole film was just very disappointing and i really wanted to like this but i just couldn't (3/10)
