What critics compared What Have I Done to Deserve This? to
The new movie is reminiscent of his work from two decades ago, especially "What Have I Done to Deserve This?," in which Maura played a frustrated working-class housewife and part-time cleaning woman who eventually kills her husband with a leg of ham.
Maura appeared in numerous early Almodóvar movies -- including "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" "Matador," "Law of Desire" and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" -- but the two haven't worked together for 18 years.
