Every day, Beatriz suffers the humiliations of her elderly husband, but she doesn't know how to live any other way.

Todd McCarthy

The Hollywood Reporter

A startling, confident, complex and entirely bold dive into the compulsions behind senescent eroticism that's nearly as explicit as the Bertolucci and perhaps more psychologically penetrating.

La Jornada

Under the complicit and expert lens of the cinematographer Alejandro Cantú, the Ripstein-Garciadiego couple offers their impetuous vision. [Full Review in Spanish]

Cinegarage

Great experience, between the plastic and the romantic, between what it blesses and curses. [Full Review in Spanish]

Ripstein has always presented the oft unexplored base realities of human behaviors -- and as is the case here, not without respect and empathy for his subjects, who are often on the verge of irreparable breakdowns into the uncivilized.

Rated: 4/5

Michael Sicinski

Cinema Scope

Devil Between the Legs makes no concessions and offers no apologies. I suppose that, in its own repugnant way, it's admirable, but it's not something anyone should feel obliged to actually watch.
