As a film with a strong reversal of the ending, the biggest charm is the moment when the audience gradually watched to the end and was shocked by the truth of the reversal and suddenly realized. Although it is a film with a heavy taste theme, there are not too many bloody scenes. Director Almodovar adheres to his usual theme of curiosity, exploring the evil and desire, crime and punishment in the depths of human nature.
What shocked me the most was that at the end of the film, Vera could hide her identity and fly away, but he still chose to be honest with his family. After Qianfan passed, his gender and appearance changed, but he was still himself. The film's bizarre plot and elusive emotional direction are precisely the charm of this Spanish suspense film, and at the same time, it also makes us ponder while being shocked.
