I saw it last week. Despite I being an Almodovar fan, I have to say that this film didn't get to my heart. Maybe I was expecting too much.
Definitely is a good film, but it has nothing (or I didn't catch) that shows the genius Almodovar is. Nothing that only Almodovar can do. Actors (actresses, to be true) are correct, but none of them do a super performance, in my opinion.
For those who are afraid of seeing Almodovar's films due to usual explicit sex scenes, this is the least 'hard' in this aspect. Actually only a scene has a bit of it, and it is a tiny tiny one. A, say, thirteen y.o. can see it without any problem. And I don't say a younger kid because probably wouldn't understand the story, not for explicit contents.
I would give it a 6.5/10.
