BROKEN EMBRACES welds Douglas Sirk melodrama to the most gracefully unsettling elements of Alfred Hitchcock, wrapping both in the stylish, hushed elegance that's become Almodovar's trademark since his mid-'90s reinvention. -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
Rating: 2.5/4 --
While its self referencing love of cinema is a feast for any cinephile, I can't help but feel that the film ultimately just runs out of gas.

From the Front Row
Broken Embraces moves us with flashes of real beauty. But somehow, instead of setting up house in our memory it departs quickly and lightly when it is done.

The New York Review of Books
Rating: 4.5/5 --
As long as Almodovar keeps investing such thought and energy in his work, he can play with whatever themes he desires.
Dallas Morning News
Rating: 3/4 --
Stylish and sly, an engaging exercise that gives us less than meets the eye.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Cruz delivers a role with wit and elegance, but there's a vacuum sapping the energy she tries to offer. So much for a film that tries too hard to be original.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)
It's hot-blooded, haunting and totally embraceable.
Rolling Stone
Product Description:
After LIVE FLESH, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, and VOLVER, director Pedro Almodóvar and his muse Penélope Cruz unite for a fourth time with this drama. Here, Almodóvar delves into noir style to tell a tale of a man (BAD EDUCATION’s Lluis Homar) with dual identities who tries to compartmentalize his life after he loses his love (Cruz) and his sight in a car crash.
