	Author	Review
United States	Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"In 'Dark Habits' (...) Almodovar's being more conventionally outrageous. The jokes don't stick as hard."	NEG
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"Unfortunately, the results are rather limp as narrative, and the better moments never quite make up for the sluggish filmmaking."	NEG
United States	Walter Goodman The New York Times	"[Almodovar] does not quite bring the events together, but his wry attitude toward conventional morality is not lost, and the acting is sufficiently controlled to keep the characters from running away into farce."	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Almodóvar's adoration of his female stars is heart-warming, and his visual style a delight."	POS
