Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter Never less than involving thanks largely to a spirited lead performance by Mariana Santangelo. Jul 27, 2002 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Tricky Life is a melodrama with a message, gloriously lurid and atmospheric, seething with Latin passion and -- clearly -- deliberately devoid of subtlety. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 1, 2002 Full Review Andy Klein New Times The basic material is overly familiar, earnest-girl-duped-by-smooth-talker stuff, but the contrast between style and subject give it a fresh feel.

Audience Member While it was, yes, a "message-bearing" film, it managed to stay away from most of the cheesiness involved in those. Santangelo's performance is refreshing and fun, making it a drama with both its message sent and some laughs delivered. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
