Aisha Harris NPR Luna and Lopez are great, but this is Tonatiuh's movie -- he takes a role that could easily be a caricature of queer flamboyance and pathos, and grounds it with depth and soul. Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Chris Barsanti Slant Magazine The musical is lesser Kander and Ebb, to be sure, but it still contains a critique—of the use of art as a form of escapism—that’s barely visible in this adaptation. Rated: 2/4 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Some people will have a very personal response to “Spider Woman” that will smother any criticisms about its lack of visual language, but that doesn’t mean this musical couldn’t have been better. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net I loved the cinematography, dance and music throughout and the chemistry between the 2 friends really works. Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest While “Kiss of the Spider Woman” demonstrates the power of escapism, it’s always made more interesting by what’s going on inside. Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Jourdain Searles The Film Stage Lopez has always been underrated as an actress, but Condon unleashes her fully in the film––she graces the screen like a Golden Hollywood starlet.
