The film is adapted from the novel of Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro. The story is small but mysterious. A story about a woman who has lost three times and tried to get it back in three stages of her life. Memories and reality are intertwined. The plot unfolds like a picture scroll. The more she sees, the more curious she becomes about the rest of the content. Many people may be familiar with Almodovar from [My Living Skin], but Julieta's style is completely different from this previous work. There are no thrilling and curious passages, and some are very life-like details and plain and true endings. I also read some comments before watching the movie. Some professional critics think that this film is like a clear soup with little water and tasteless, but I enjoy the calmness unexpectedly. It may be a return to the basics after watching too much aesthetic fatigue in recent big scenes. The ingenuity buried in the details is more intriguing.
