J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Sariñana creates some genuinely touching moments, and his narrative sleight of hand is impressive, though the overstuffed story line tends to hold the characters down to the level of melodrama. Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Silly, of course, the last thing a shocking expos can afford to be. Rated: 0.5/4 Oct 9, 2003 Full Review Jorge Avila Andrade Moviola Desafortunadamente para el cine mexicano, el resultado deja mucho que desear, convirtindose en la pelcula ms publicitada en lo que va del ao pero tambin en la ms sobrevalorada y pretenciosa. Rated: 2/4 Oct 29, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
