Genre: Drama, Thriller
Cast: Gael Garcia Bernal, Fele Martinez, Javier Camara
Duration: 1h 49m (app)

Almodovar through his movie 'Bad Education' does not educate us on the difficulties or the intricasies of homosexual relationships. But he provides a human drama about three character that meet after a gap of 15 years by means of a taut storyline.

Gael Garcia Bernal, stands out with his performance in his different characters. the element of surprise that keeps coming unexpectedly is the highlight of this movies entertaining aspects. The visuals follow the style of most spanish movies with the lighting adjusted to provide a modest view of the characters. The music is pretty well and suits the movie.

The deep love between the two characters of Enrique and Ignacio is done really well with the moments of ecstacy that surfaces at times in the the well-off Enrique's mind and Ignacio who cherishes the memories during his hardships moves the viewer. The movie banks on its smoothness despite some desultory sequences.
