If you like your comedies wicked and pitch-black, El Crimen Perfecto delivers without flinching.

Peter Howell

Toronto Star

A story that begins as farce but that evolves into something approaching satirical profundity.

Rated: 3/4

Globe and Mail

My advice is to choose the first half, where things are really funny until they aren't.

Rated: 2.5/4

Ken Hanke

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

An outburst of filmic inventiveness and a nicely convoluted plot with elements of outright fantasy, nearly all of which works.

Rated: 4/5

Una satira envuelta en humor negro hace que la reflexion sobre el control sexual y la manipulación femenina se conviertan en situaciones fantasiosas e hilarantes muy a lo Alex De la Iglesia.
