I wish the female character was in more in control, power dynamic was off.

This movie normalizes couples violence as something "cute" because they love each other. Added to being very irreal and bad performances. I was very disappointed (and I've seen plenty of Mexican Movies)

Very mixed feelings about this film. Great acting and excellent storytelling. However, it ultimately feels less like a romantic comedy than a male fantasy of subjugation and eroticism. The talented, beautiful female lead can't get herself out of a relationship she doesn't seem to really want, and the male lead doesn't hesitate to use physical means to keep her in it. All of the male lead's cuteness couldn't keep me from feeling uncomfortable and saddened by it all.

It might have helped if director Roberto Sneider had let his female lead be something more than the pretty thing doing the figurative killing mentioned in the title.

Both characters are wildly flawed, and you can feel your sympathies shift during their knock-down, drag-out fights.

[An] engaging film, exploring the link between honesty and intimacy.

Third Coast Review

I don't get many opportunities to watch García Bernal act, so Susana feels like a stroll through an acting class that he's teaching. It's not entirely fulfilling, but it's a nice greatest hits collection, and I'll take it.

This is a simple movie directed simply and it's best when it doesn't try to swing above its weight class.

Alberto Luchini

El Mundo (Spain)

The comedic view of Gael Gacia Bernal, the elegant sensuality of Vernica Echegui, the beautiful snowy landscapes and a powerful soundtrack add up to a film that dignifies the genre of romantic comedy as much as it can. [Full Review in Spanish]
