Critics Consensus

Weaving a visually sumptuous web of musical intrigue, Kiss of the Spider Woman showcases beauty in tragedy through wondrous performances by Jennifer Lopez, Tonatiuh Elizarraraz and Diego Luna.

Audience Says

A bold reimagining, Kiss of the Spider Woman places Tonatiuh in the marquis of talents to watch and offers enough eye candy to compensate for its occasional narrative and pacing flaws.

Peter Travers

The Travers Take

Alternately terrific and tepid, Bill Condon's swirl of song, dance and Technicolor keeps the musical alive on screen with the help of newcomer Tonatiuh and Jennifer Lopez, a star who can hold the camera and bend it to her will.

Rated: 3/4

Globe and Mail

n fantasizing fantasy, Condon, who once gave us far campier images, defaults to less imprinting sights and stifled tropes in this mostly unmemorable spectacle.

Odie Henderson

Boston Globe

As for Lopez, this is the star turn she was born to play. She makes Sergio Trujillo’s choreography look effortless. Her looks range from the extreme Louise Brooks bob of her spider-costumed title character to a coif so blonde that it glows.

Rated: 3.5/4

The AU Review

It's difficult to deny just how much Kiss of the Spider Woman catapults itself to another stratosphere of awe whenever [Jennifer] Lopez graces us with her magnetism.

This version of Kiss of the Spider Woman may not be as searing as previous incarnations, but has enough spectacle to make up for it.

If you like musicals and you like singing and dancing this movie is for you! From the very opening song Jennifer Lopezs voice sounds so pretty so Broadway! The hair the Makeup the wardrobe the entire cast is incredible. Watch one of the originals for reference all of them are great this one is just fabulous I have seen it twice and I will probably have to see the third time for the dancing. What a masterpiece!

Good music and nice scenery. But it’s hard to understand what the movie is talking about if you have no idea of the story.
