Kiss of the Spider Woman

Luna and Lopez are great, but this is Tonatiuh's movie -- he takes a role that could easily be a caricature of queer flamboyance and pathos, and grounds it with depth and soul.

Condon confirms that he's simply unrivaled when it comes to directing movie musicals, and the three leads deliver a trifecta of tour de forces.

Star-making performance [Tonatiuh's] when the package surrounding the actor is otherwise so ordinary and un-cosmic?.

We’re in safest hands with Lopez and Condon when he’s playing in that sandbox as the cell-based scenes can be a little stagey and rushed in comparison.

Lopez has had a successful singing career, but she’s never sounded better than in this lavish musical. Thrilling and sharp dance numbers, glitzy costumes, and campy dialogue all come together to create a dazzling, show-stopping musical that, while not perfect, had my audience clapping after a few of the onscreen performances.
