If Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown hit the spot, these will too

The same hand behind both of them: Pedro Almodóvar
The difference: Goes its own way on the wit

The same two preoccupations: friendship, and suicide attempt
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Two things both keep coming back to: female friendship and a woman at the center
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Pedro Almodóvar directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Lighter on wit

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

The same mix in both: stillness, then melancholy


Drama built on play, twice over

Contemplative comedy, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Both lean on melancholy more than on drama

Warm comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans further into family
In the mood for more witty?
