The team of wheelchair basketball players zip around, dribble and shoot with great prowess. Too tightly really. Everything is too coveniently connected. Life does have many surprising coincidences, but this hits the outer reaches of probability. It's almost as if Almodovar is worried that his characters will wilt if he doesn't thrust them into another crazy situation.
Absurdity piles upon absurdity.
This could be a complaint, or you could just accept that this is an Almodovar movie. Copyright 1997-2001 insideout.co.uk. All rights reserved.
