From member Brandon Fibbs:
The sexual melodrama Broken Embraces is like an onion. But while it can be an enjoyable and even rewarding exercise peeling back all of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar’s many layers, there still needs to be something edible when you’re through. Broken Embraces is, instead, a cornucopia of insightful ideas and a goodie bag of homages to other films, none of which find a way to cohere into anything articulate or meaningful. This, Almodóvar’s longest film, is also his least compelling.
