Kiss of the Spider Woman

I'm going to have to say this wasn't what I hoped it would be. Although I appreciate to forge your own path like Condon did with this, he just got lost. The performances from both the main characters were good. But Jennifer Lopez was just ok for me, as usual. There's so much attention that goes to her with every project she does and that it robs the other true talent of their spotlight. I'm hoping this doesn't happen here because it will ruin the whole story for so many musical fans. I believe using another less known actress would have better suited the Ingrid Luna character. I give it a generous 6/10.

... such are the eyes through which we see the world nowadays. Nonetheless, a story of two people catching each other in their own webs and becoming more than just cellmates. Superbly acted and directed, if not a little dated.

We've come a long way since this was written and released, we see the world through different eyes, have different perspectives on what is acceptable and what is not. This film would not be made today, like so many films of the past that had themes that were challenging, but subsequently turn out to be considerably different from what society will tolerate some years later. You decide, read between the lines.

What a fantastic adaptation, great justice to the novel, the musical and the original film! Stellar costumes, direction and editing! Golden age of Hollywood level! Insane dancing from the cast and surprising vocal performance from Lopez (the best I've heard her sound). Diego Luna shines in a new light and. Tonatiuh Elizarraraz is a revelation! So thrilling to watch yet makes you think deeper for important questions in life. I would love to see this revived on Broadway! Can't wait for Condon's next projects! The room was packed and it received a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival! So grateful to be there, I hope it gets a wide proper release cause this can be a box office smash hit!

I got lucky at Sundance and caught the second viewing of this gem. I recall the original film with Raul Julia and William Hurt and loved it. This is a whole new approach and it works throughout. I was worried that Jennifer Lopez would steal the show but if anything lead actors Diego Luna and Tonatiuh made it for me. Don't misunderstand, Lopez was wonderful but the the two inmates were incredible in prison as well as in the fantasy film musical. Their chemistry was perfect and their comedic timing of great dialogue made it a joy.

Don't waste any time getting out to see this film as soon as it opens.

I just got out of the premier here in the Sundance Film Festival, the movie was one of the best that I've ever seen. I have seen all JLo´s movies and thsi one is incredible, her talent, her acting and musical skills are other level. Also Luna was incredible even if he is not a singer and dancer, he gave his best in this movie. Tonatiuh was incredible is the first time that I am seeing him in action and WOW!

The film is a mix between Chicago musical and other kind of amazing musicals, the soundtracks and the dances were incredible, the whole theater was screaming for JLo and Luna scene.

But at the end of the day I think that is the first time that Jennifer Lopez will get her oscar nomination and probably she is going to win the Golden Globes. SHE WAS MORE THAN AMAZING!
