ParallelMothers Review: Pedro Almodóvar's Spanish Drama Hits All The Right Notes

Pedro Almodóvar's Parallel Mothers beautifully expresses the blissful highs and aching lows of motherhood, delicately told through the story of two single women who fatefully shared a hospital room. The Spanish film masterfully combines vivid imagery and emotional tension to create a riveting story that avoids the usual clichés, stereotypes, and other pitfalls of the genre.

Penélope Cruz is the heart and soul of Parallel Mothers. Cruz is a frequent collaborator with Pedro Almodóvar, and their familiarity shows: the director captures every subtle gesture, glance, and breath perfectly. Cruz glows as a brand new mother, but over time, has the ashen, exhausted look of a single parent struggling to keep up with the endless, and deeply tiring, responsibilities of parenthood.

Harris pushed hard for voting rights — then hit a brick wallMore than six months ago, Vice President Kamala Harris embraced a new mission: to lead the administration’s push for federal voting rights legislation. She dove into it. She’s doing great with it. Just like the border. 🤭 I've said it before and I'll say it again: blanket parties for Manchin and Sinema Well, perhaps the Constitutional Republic will get lucky again, and the American people will not hand this generation of Authoritarian Republicans controlling levers of the Article 1 power.
