When i started to watch this movie, it gave me a good vibe but once that minutes were passing by i immediately placed it as the worst movie i have ever seen from Spain and particularly from a gay point of view.
It does not have ANYTHING to compare with real beautiful movies from Almodovar crime thrillers and all, this is a version where pink cheesy and bad acting and mostly horrible views of the director who made this movie!
Even i watched all i really got very disappointed about it! They tried to make it look in a suspense way but bad acting and script was everywhere!
And also the movie itself does not have a real message , !

This is a film made in the spirit of 1980's Spanish underground film Pepi, Luci, Bom that was the first film of Pedro Almodovar. Throughout the film, other themes and scenes from Almodavar films are referenced, such as Ley del Deseo (film director being stalked by ambitious young handsome actors), Kika (ruthless sensationalist paparazzi),
as well as soundalike Bernardo Bonezzi music from Que he Hecho Para Merecer Esto, as well as its aesthetics. There are also drag / punk song performances in the style of Laberinto de Pasiones , with current drag artists such as Samantha Hudson, Marina (from Drag Race Spain series 2) and La Prohibida. The latter plays her real life alias Amapola in this film, to add to the meta-cinematic punch line; she is a real scene stealer.
It is worth watching this film alone to marvel at all the interesting Almodovar vignettes. A very refreshing film, in a world gone mad with political correctness. (although, the film would have benefited from completely distancing itself from any political standpoint to truly be politically incorrect).
