First Critical Review for Volver

Hey, well now heres the first crictal review for the second film im studying Pedro Almodovar's Volver released in 2006. The following review is from the Empire Online website.

"Plot
A story about three generations of women. Raimunda (Cruz) works menial jobs to support her daughter (Yohana Cobo) and deadbeat husband three years after the death of her mother (Maura). Her sister Sole (Dueñas) is lonely, and her friend Agustina (Portillo) suffers from cancer and the disappearance of her own mother.

Verdict
A mature and beautifully told tale of family and the ghosts that haunt us.
