Aaron's Thoughts
Given the subject matter, I expected more from this. The jaw dropping purple snow scene aside, I don’t think there will be any images or moments that will stick with me. I also couldn’t unsee the shortcomings of the dialogue/script that have been well documented alread. Not to even mention the flashback sequences that seem like they belong in a straight to video movie. It leads to the whole thing feeling clunky and disjointed.
It’s still a sweet story about friendship & life inside a tragedy. Despite the flaws, the exceptional performances from Moore & Swinton & the bright colors of Almodovar make it better than most new releases in this day and age.
