Talk to Her. (D+) Too bad, this website's inaugural review has to be a negative one. This is the first movie I have ever seen by Pedro Almodovar, and it may be the last. The plot is interesting: two men are in love with women who have been badly injured and rendered comatose, and they form a friendship of their own as they cope with their losses. Unfortunately one of the two men, who is at first merely creepy and pathetic, later turns out to be repellent and loathsome. (I don't expect the director intended that to be the case, but I can't see any avoiding that conclusion.) Only an excellent performance by the other, much more sympathetic protagonist saves this movie from an even lower grade.
