‘Amarga Navidad - Natal Amargo’ é uma comédia dramática do realizador espanhol Pedro Almodóvar, de 71 anos, autor de ‘Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios - Mulheres à Beira de Um Ataque de Nervos' (1988), ‘Todo Sobre Mi Madre - Tudo Sobre a Minha Mãe’ (1999), ‘Hable con Ella - Fala com Ela’ (2002), ‘La Mala Educación - Má Educação’ (2004), ‘Volver’ (2006), ‘La Piel que Habito - A Pele Onde eu Vivo’ (2011), ‘Dolor y Gloria - Dor e Glória’ (2019) e ‘The Human Voice - A Voz Humana’ (2020).
“This movie doesn’t have the impact of his comparably modernist ‘Madres Paralelas’, but Almodóvar’s sensual, playful, melancholy films are always food for thought and feeling.”
The Guardian
"Pedro Almodóvar makes himself the butt of the joke in a slippery meta drama. Has made an in-betweener feature, yet one made with such brio and bonhomie, you can’t but be inclined to let him away with it. The film’s trick-mirrors and hasty retractions land glibly. Once more, he’s way ahead of us, which is only right for a film that feels like a stopgap made with one eye on the next, perhaps more profound thing coming down the pike. Still, if 'Amarga Navidad' is just the harrumph before the actual event, it’s a highly diverting one: Nobody clears his throat like Pedro Almodóvar. ”
Sight and Sound
“Hasta los sentimientos son de diseño. Diálogos, personajes y secuencias pobladas de mujeres sufrientes y abatidas que han sufrido la pérdida de lo que más amaban pasman ante su ridiculez.”
