Wall Street Journal
Beautiful (sometimes sublimely so), daring (sometimes outrageously so), seriously crazed and terrifically funny. - 100
The New York Times
When it's over, the realization of how much the movie means to you really sinks in; you can't get it out of your heart. - 100
Rolling Stone
The actors are outstanding, illuminating four different views of loneliness. But it's Camara's tour-de-force performance that anchors the film, that shocks and unnerves us. - 100
Christian Science Monitor
One of Almodóvar's most challenging pictures, jumping around in time and sending a large gallery of characters through a wide variety of situations -- will find him again at the peak of his powers. - 100
Entertainment Weekly
Like everything else in this superb work of art, ''Shrinking Lover'' is exquisitely Almodóvarian. It's funny, tender, a little shocking, and it pays homage to what we know about movies: that they can move us beyond words. - 88
New York Daily News
This quiet yet jolting meditation on love, obsession, loneliness, friendship and fate has the quality to entrance you through a first viewing, and compel you to take its themes and characters home with you for further consideration. - 88
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Pure cinematic intoxication, a wildly inventive mixture of comedy and melodrama, tastelessness and swooning elegance, bodies with the texture of fresh peaches, and angular faces Picasso would have loved. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
This ode to the peculiar strength and flexibility of love, romantic and platonic, is simultaneously perverse, overwrought, deeply creepy and truly moving, a high-wire act that finds humor in the grotesque and hope in emotional malformation.
