After years of not seeing each other, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation
Narrative
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth when they worked together for the same magazine. When Pedro Almodóvar sent the script to Tilda Swinton, he asked her who should play Ingrid.
They both had Julianne Moore in mind
Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode September 8, 2024 (2024). Despite the serious theme (euthanasia), the film is extremely boring, disjointed and emotionally unengaging.
The character played by Turturro is flat and uninteresting
Who knows how it could win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. The interconnected stories simply do not make any sense (see the interpolation of gay Carmelite monks).
Come on Pedro, you can do better than this
The script sounds like political propaganda and does not come from the heart. I'm not entirely sure Tilda Swinton was the best choice for this role, but since The Human Voice she seems to be appearing in every Almodovar English MPV.
There have been many films about euthanasia (such as Amenabar's Mar Adentro) that are certainly more noteworthy than this frankly mediocre specimen
