has anyone seen this?

Yes

Yes, I watched it today. Beautifully shot film with an excellent performance by Antonio Banderas. My rating is a 9/10.

I've seen it... Seems to be more autobiographical than it actually is (the main character is a better looking version of the director, Pedro Almodovar... even as the same hairstyle and "look")...

It's an ok movie. You'll like it if you are a big Almodovar fan, it's an average movie if you're not a dedicated fan of his. It's pretty gay and inward looking, which is expected given the subject material... It feels like a much smaller movie then his previous ones.

His earlier movies, Talk to Her (2002), Volver (2006) and Broken Embraces (2009) are all much better movies than this... Larger in scope, more genre elements, better crafted and far more cinematic and gripping...

You can tell this one was made by the same director, but it's a movie about a man like himself looking back at his childhood (mostly), a past romance and an important time in his career... It's nothing like those other movies...
