TL;DR

Deadline’s Cannes review of Bitter Christmas portrays Pedro Almodóvar’s autofiction experiment: a present-day filmmaker blocked by creative drought and a 2004 Madrid storyline that intertwine to question whether turning real lives into fiction is fair, with strong performances and sharp dialogue; while not seen as his Palme d’Or peak, the film offers a revealing glimpse into its director’s psyche.
