    "Almodovar (who has a cameo as a leather-jacketed transvestite rock singer) has already learned (somewhat) how to pull off such a difficult act, by treating the potentially offensive with such cartoonish abandon that it becomes ridiculous to take offense."Desson Thomson, "Washington Post"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/labyrinthofpassionnrhowe_a0b265.htm

    "This is a home movie for the Movida set, a glamorous clash of frocks and jocks (and jocks in frocks) in a Madrid peopled by drug-takers, pop stars, wannabes, terrorists and sex maniacs. "Geoff Andrew, "Time Out"http://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/79984/labyrinth_of_passion.html
