Bitter Christmas Almodóvar Comes Home (And Saves Us from Corporate Holiday Hell)
Almodóvar turns holiday grief into an intimate, visually stunning, and emotionally raw drama. Bárbara Lennie shines, but the script stumbles in the third act. 8/10.
Claqueta Ácida acid rating
"Leonardo Sbaraglia lives in a state of cinematic Russian roulette. Capable of touching absolute magnetism with a 8.0, only to crash into 5.5 trainwrecks that leave us wondering if they read the script before cashing the check. Undeniable talent, questionable compass." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
