Trivia:
In an interview with El País in March 2009, Pedro Almodóvar revealed that the idea for the lip reader played by Lola Dueñas came from watching the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Asturias on Spain's Telecinco, where the services of a lip reader were employed by the channel to relay what the couple were saying to each other as they stood at the altar.

Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: After Ernesto pushed Lena on the staircase, he takes her to the hospital in his Rolls Royce. When they approach the metal gate of his Villa, you can see, almost in the middle of the frame, a blue square with a man inside, most probably a crew person.

His movies have always been a chaos. Both a controlled and uncontrolled one. I am among those who have liked them that way, but maybe Almodovar has calmed down now.
This is about the blind director, who is still a womanizer. He gets a visitor and remembers what happened 15 years ago, during one of his film productions. There was this strange 14-year-old, annoying everybody with his film camera making a documentary. Now the past is present again.
And many things are brought to the surface, but it's done in a rather conventional way for two very entertaining hours. I like Almodovar also in this adult shape.
