Critics Consensus

The Good Girls uses its period setting and specific character canvas to explore the widely relatable struggle for perceived social status.

Danny Leigh

Financial Times

[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.

Rated: 4/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

There is enormous clarity and control in this film from Mexican director Alejandra Márquez Abella, and a tremendous lead performance from Ilse Salas.

Times (UK)

It's compelling material, yet oddly toothless as polemic.

Rated: 3/5

Matt Cipolla

Film Monthly

This thinly stretched premise has no bite aside from Ilse Salas' performance, just some old jewelry over its limp wrists.

Rated: 2/5

TAKE ONE Magazine

Impeccably made and superbly acted, the entire package is absorbing if perhaps lacking in satirical edge.

The result is a movie of unusual intelligence, well-shot and interpreted, decidedly magnificent. [Full Review in Spanish]

Excellent protrayal of Latin American "high-society". This is the story of many families and it won't be the last.

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Muy buena comedia oscura (muy oscura) que relata el cambio de vida que le tocó a pequeña sección de la sociedad mexicana durante las crisis económicas de los años ochenta.

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.
