“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Pedro Almodovar, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I’m not surprised that it didn’t make much waves when it was released. Indeed, it was a decent watch but there is no doubt that it was a minor effort for the Spanish master. The main issue I had was that, even though it was fairly short (not even 100 mins), it still felt seriously drawn-out. I mean, through the whole thing, you get to see some rather random scenes but, afterwards, I came to the conclusion that they didn’t have much to do with the plot or, at least, the connection was just very thin. Then, there was this final revelation but it was just so hard to swallow. Maybe it was because the whole thing was focusing solely on ” read more

"26.1.2019 Pedro Almodóvar's bitter and erotic drama "Julieta" explores an issue I've been thinking about myself recently: what makes people to leave their loved ones suddenly just like that without them leaving any hints about their whereabouts? Almodóvar's film provides some acceptable and painful answers to this important question. The film is based on Alice Munro's three novels known as "Runaway", that I haven't read yet. The film isn't one of Almodóvar's more complex ones and he could've"

"30.12. Mielenkiintoinen ja otteessaan pitävä traumakuvaus. Mukava paluu parempien elokuvien pariin Almodóvarilta edellisen stuerttifarssin jälkeen. "

"7.12. Liialliseen minäkertojan käyttöön kirjeen kirjoittamisen muodossa sortuva Almodóvarin uutukainen sisältää turhan paljon takaumia ja epäuskottavia hahmojensa vanhenemisia ollakseen täysin ongelmaton. Näistä huolimatta Julieta onnistuu esittämään kornin saippuasarjamaiset juonenkäänteensä ohjaajalleen tyypillisesti vakavan taide-elokuvan muodossa. Siksi elokuva onkin erittäin kivuton ja välillä jopa uskottava ja koskettava."

" 7 May, Only in Almodovar's world that a simple premise of domestic indifference seem like the greatest mystery in the world. And Almodovar is an actor's director so there is no shortage of great acting  and even adding new names to his stable. "

"20.3. Alapäähumoristisen ja jotenkin yllättävän kehnon Matkarakastajien jälkeen Julieta edustaa taas perinteisempää Almodóvaria. Film noir -tyylikeinoihin perustuva rakenne tekee elokuvasta miellyttävän seurattavan, vaikka tarina sinänsä on ohjaajan asteikolla hillitymmästä päästä, eikä ehkä perhedraamaksi miellettävä elokuva myöskään käsittele rikosta. Almodóvar tuntee edelleen elokuvan kielen - Julieta on kuvauksellisesti ja ohjauksen osalta takuutyötä. Alice Munr"
