"You'd imagine a movie about a single mother who loses her only son in a tragic accident to be a sob fest. Not quite, as long as Pedro Almodovar is at the helm. The son in question is a writer whose one yearning was to meet his father. The mother takes his final task to heart and goes out to seek the transgender whore who made her pregnant. On the way her life intertwines with lesbian actresses, pregnant nuns and another transgender whore. Grief was never so comforting. Oscars, Golden Globes, BA"

"This film by Pedro Almodóvar observes the interconnectivity of a collection of women, as they go through many phases of their lives, often dwelling on tragedy. It is so refreshing to see an array of strong actors playing such heartfelt female characters, and the way the story is presented really takes its emotional sensibility to new heights. There is a strong influence from woman-centered cinema of classical Hollywood, but its themes are presented in a much deeper fashion, in an vividly-shaped"

"14.12. Kaikki äidistäni on ohjaajansa näköinen työ, joka vähän niin kuin palautti viime aikoina hieman kadoksissa olleen rakkauteni elokuviin. "
