Review of All About My Mother (1999) by Dawdlingpoet — 12 Jan 2022
This film has quite a laidback feel to it, with slow jazz type music playing in the background at times. Its an interesting, thoughtful perhaps watch. There are numerous sex references present, so unsurprisingly it isn't an ideal watch if your watching with your parents or similar but that's to be expected.
It features a good cast (including Cecilia Roth and Penelope Cruz) and I liked the cinematography, showing the seedier sides of Barcelona. The plot intrigued me - its certainly a good bit of social commentary, Given the plot, it may have been, if only somewhat, controversial when it came out in the late 1990s and I respect that its a well liked and regarded films.
I liked and respected that the women looked out for each other. I suppose it has the feel of a play about itI certainly enjoyed watching it, so yes, I'd recommend it.
