Another box office hit from director Pedro Almodóvar. In this dramedy, young Esteban wants to become a writer and also to discover the identity of his second mother, a trans woman, carefully concealed by his mother Manuela. RogerEbert.com says: "ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER is one of the best films of the Spanish director, whose films present a Tennessee Williams sensibility in the visual style of a 1950s tearjerker."
