Watch: Dolor y gloria 2019 123movies, Full Movie Online – The protagonist of “Pain and Glory” was at the decline of his career. The man involuntarily looks back into the past, and a stream of vivid memories falls upon him. He recalls such moments from his youth as tender feelings for his mother, love and separation, the search for happiness and success. All this leads the master of cinema to important thoughts about life and art, because this is the most important thing for him..
Plot: Salvador Mallo, a filmmaker in the twilight of his career, remembers his life: his mother, his lovers, the actors he worked with. The sixties in a small village in Valencia, the eighties in Madrid, the present, when he feels an immeasurable emptiness, facing his mortality, the incapability of continuing filming, the impossibility of separating creation from his own life. The need of narrating his past can be his salvation.

The 8½ of our time, brought by a brilliant filmmaker.
I. Short review:Half autobiographic, half fiction, Almodóvar’s most intimate work is an european drama carved with humor and intense emotions you wouldn’t want to miss, Antonio Banderas is a tour de force.
II. Full review:
Since this year’s Cannes Film Festival celebration in which Pain and Glory competed for the Palm d’Or for best picture and supposedly the favorite to win, I took quite interest in Almodóvar’s new film, also my personal experiences with two of his films that I’ve seen, ‘Talk to Her’ (which I think is an absolute masterpiece), and the very creative thriller ‘The Skin I Live In’ (also starring Antonio Banderas), were strong factors of that interest.
The film tells the story of a depressed and aching director that reconnects with old friends and people he used to care about, at the time that he reflects on his humble but enlightning past in several ways, all from the perspective of his gloomy and lonesome present.
Pain and Glory escalates in a ladder of triumphs, since its mesmerizing soundtrack by Alberto Iglesias (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), an astonishing cinematography by José Luis Alcaine, a masterful direction and gripping script by Pedro Almodóvar, to its top and greatest gift of all: a colossal performance by Antonio Banderas, which justifies his award for best actor in Cannes 2019.
Well performed but just far to slow with a less than enthralling subject matter
Yes the film was performed impeccably by all involved but it was extremely slow and often boring the 2nd half was more interesting and did get me more invested but just as it appeared to be going somewhere the film abruptly ended. 8/10 for the acting but 3/10 for entertainment value 5/10 overall.
