Wissenswertes
There was a poster for PARALLEL MOTHERS (Madres paralelas) over a decade ago in a scene of Almodóvar's Zerrissene Umarmungen (2009) (Broken Embraces). He was already working on the script and had made a poster.

Patzer
(at around 1h 28 mins) After an argument with Ana in the kitchen, Janis leaves to go sit on the terrace. She sits down in the chair on the left (from viewer's perspective). When Ana walks towards her, Janis is sitting in the chair on the right.

Crazy Credits
The entirety of the credits appears on 35mm film that scrolls by, with red markings as if someone were reviewing each "picture."

Parallel Mothers

This was not one of Almodovar's finest movies, the characters were superficial and lacked any sort of emotional intelligence, in fact they were verging on caricatures of human beings.

The plot was quite bizarre lacking any heft, something about a genetic legacy and not being able to deny history. The plot took a wrong turn when it fixated about the paternity for one baby but the other baby "oh it looks like my grandmother", was sufficient.

The dialogue skated on the surface and we had some strange scenes to titillate the viewer, I wasn't convinced. Had it not been for the fabulous Penelope Cruz who threw her all into the project this would've been a Spanish turkey.

I'm giving this a weak 6 outta 10, meaning if you are an Almodovar fan you have to see it.
