4/5
[A] gracefully jagged movie, made with a nod to master surrealist Luis Buñuel and a high-gloss aesthetic of fashion magazines, face masks and nail varnish. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Jul 24, 2020
There is enormous clarity and control in this film from Mexican director Alejandra Márquez Abella, and a tremendous lead performance from Ilse Salas. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Jul 24, 2020
3/5
It's compelling material, yet oddly toothless as polemic. Go to Full Review Matt Cipolla Film Monthly Jul 25, 2020
2/5
This thinly stretched premise has no bite aside from Ilse Salas' performance, just some old jewelry over its limp wrists. Go to Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine Feb 13, 2020
Impeccably made and superbly acted, the entire package is absorbing if perhaps lacking in satirical edge. Go to Full Review Mirito Torreiro Fotogramas Nov 8, 2019
4/5
The result is a movie of unusual intelligence, well-shot and interpreted, decidedly magnificent. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael W @RT56987278 Sep 1, 2024 Excellent film filled with early 80s Mexico City energy and a timeless critique of social stratification - with people ‘above and below’, and the perils of ‘falling down’ the ladder. Based on the incomparable work of Guadalupe Loaeza, this adaptation captures the very real and human pain when expectations become disappointments, the untrustworthiness of social friendships, and ever-present configuring of gender. See more Apr 18, 2022 Excellent protrayal of Latin American "high-society". This is the story of many families and it won't be the last. See more Mar 22, 2020 Great cast the three ladies are very strong. The whole cast is great! Enjoy the comédie and the suspense and it was quite addictive although season 2 had a few episodes that was dragging a bit. See more Oct 18, 2018 Beautiful camera work and a perfectly done study in useless lives dependent on money. What happens when the money is gone and the arrogance remains? Very believable.
