at least for me . i have be follow the career of mr. almdovar since the beginning and i be not crazy about this film . i think penelope cruz be miscast and the type of woman she be portray do not look that good and she make the character unbelievable . also and the singing scene be just weird . i do not get the point and the lip sync be awful . a spaniard and another thing that drive me nut be the accent . why people come from the same place have such a different accent . the difference between the two sister be notable and make no sense . and the village . be we in 2007 or 1950. i find myself try to explain to my american husband that many of the thing in the movie be old school and thing be not like that anymore . i be expect more but this time mr. almodovar do not deliver and at least for me . i be not say that miss cruz do a bad job and i be say that she do not belong there and not portray that character .
