1. Almodóvars bästa hittills. 2. Almodovar är en filmskapare som älskar sitt medium och vet hur man utnyttjar det för chocker och känslor. 3. Det är för hängivet åt galenskap för att inte vara spännande, men det finns inte nog för att vara övertygande. 4. En underbar gåva från Pedro Almodovar till sin mor och alla som uppskattar mödrar. 5. Filmen är medvetet teatralisk, till och med surrealistisk, men den borstar med stora idéer och perspektiv på människans tillstånd. 6. Ofta djupt skrattretande, det är lika ofta djupt rör sig. 7. Almodovars senaste -- och kanske största -- arbete hittills. 8. Rolig, provocerande och djupt sympatisk i sin breda omfamning av kvinnor och de som skulle vara kvinnor, All About My Mother är en ledstjärna för en film. 9. Manuelas sökande efter Estebans far, ''Lola,'' blir mest representativt för den maskulina gestalten som en kraft som bleknar eller dör, och för de befriande effekterna av solidariteten mellan kvinnorna. 10. Ett firande av vänskap, familj och motståndskraft som är rörande utan att någonsin vara kladdig. Skriv en enda mening sammanfattning av recensionerna ovan.
