I love Pedro Almodovar flicks, in particular Bad Education<br />

<strong>and</strong> the divinely twisted <strong>and</strong> feistily feminist Volver. But<br />

Julieta, try as it may to ascend to the status of vintage<br />

Almodovar, ultimately fails in its quest - it never gains a<br />

solid grounding on which to anchor its otherwise compelling<br />

narrative. The story is archetypal Almodovar, based as it<br />

is on a trio of Alice Munro short stories, set in the<br />

director's native Spain, <strong>and</strong> showcasing a story about a<br />

mother-daughter rupture. There is a problem with the pacing<br />

in the film - at times too sluggish, lingering over tedious<br />

details - <strong>and</strong> the direction finally proves too lackluster<br />

to bring the dynamic ideas to vigorous life. Usually<br />

Almodovar's films are a whirl of vibrant energy <strong>and</strong> even<br />

the slower scenes are infused with a sense of tension.<br />

Julieta has memorable moments - the climax, for example,<br />

where the mother's disillusionment reaches a tragic apex -<br />

but it's hardly enough to overcome the fractures of the<br />

film.<br />
