#BitterChristmas
A fun meta-Almodovar-nerdy time #BitterChristmas! #IFFBoston #FallFocus @brattletheatre.bsky.social

ELSA: Cinema can be a bit premonitory. That’s a theory of mine.

Pedro Almodóvar’s new film BITTER CHRISTMAS is playing at the 62nd Chicago International Film Festival and it’s a twisty, character-driven, meta delight. Read my review at TheEstablishingShot.org and then make plans to see its second showing this Sunday. #bitterchristmas #pedroalmodovar #ciff

Almodóvar’s #BitterChristmas is a frustrating watch. A slow burn meta-melodrama (despite a striptease number set to Grace Jones, a Rossy de Palma cameo, dazzling color & 4th wall break) until the final 15 minutes when conflict finally occurs only to abruptly roll end credits.

First blast of Last Christmas at the weekend and first Christmas film today - if indeed #BitterChristmas qualifies. Summer really is over. And as always, Almodovar sends me home with plans to shop for all the colours.

Review ⭐⭐⭐ ½ ᯓ ½ ✮

It's not one of Pedro Almodóvar's best works, but despite its flawed emotional connection, Almodóvar still brings an interesting and character study dynamic about family relations and people.

Saw #BitterChristmas and #CampMiasma this weekend. Both (slightly) Christmas themed, and released in August. Anyway, Both were great.

#BitterChristmas was a (bitter) disappointment. There was, what seemed like a lot of product placement for Apple and Prada, which distracted me from a story that wasn’t clever and lacked actual drama. In my bottom three PA films, at least it’s not as bad as I’m So Excited or The Room Next Door 😒

#BitterChristmas may be the 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 Pedro Almodóvar film as its deconstruction of a director’s writing routine feels oddly comforting.

"The final act reminds us just how good Almodóvar can be, but viewers may struggle to engage his movie long enough to get to that point."

BITTER CHRISTMAS is in UK/ROI cinemas from August 28th.
