The film is based on the works of the Nobel laureate Alice Munro, which I have not read, so it was possible to avoid the inevitable comparisons with the original source. This is a quality melodrama characteristic of the director, shot beautifully in Almodovar’s favorite red tones. I did not watch without interest, but did not discover anything new for myself, in my opinion, he is somewhat weaker than his previous films. This is the story of the life of a woman endowed with both intelligence and beauty, who found her happiness, but lost it, as did her daughter, who left her 12 years ago, and she was never able to find her. The obvious schematicity of the plot presented is visible, the logic of the actions of the heroes is not visible, the end did not convince me either. Perhaps it was in vain that he took female prose as a basis?
