Movie - Volver

Not a bad movie, except I really couldn't stand that Penelope Cruz's character pretty much runs around the entire time crying. Enough already!

The theme in this Almodovar movie is father figure pedophiles and trust. Of course, as in most of his movies, the overarching theme is his fascination with women and relationships, in this case mothers and daughters. There's token appearances by men, but the message is that they're a burden and aren't needed. Like life after the wars, when there were few men, the women had to build lives without them.

There's a couple big twists in the story, and it's a interesting look at women. Overall ok, but my reaction is more of a 'meh'.
