Broken Embraces ***

'Broken Embraces' is the latest from Pedro Almodovar to be released on dvd.

This one is not one of his typically 'weird' movies, but is more of just a story. I got the feeling that it was very autobiographical, although I don't think he's actually blind like the character.

The big plus in 'Broken Embraces' was Penelope Cruz! She delivers another amazing performance.

As for the kiddies, I would just have them skip all of Almodovar's movies until they're old enough to appreciate the intricacies. Also, none of his plots are really kid friendly!

'Broken Embraces' is not one of my favorites from Almodovar, but still a good watch.
