Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Perhaps our confusion is part of the whole idea, but Sex and Lucia would have a lot more impact if there were someone to give a damn about.
– Eleanor Ringel Gillespie,

fresh:
It's a thoughtful film that forces its characters and its viewers to wrestle with the difference between great sex and true intimacy.
– Roger Moore,

fresh:
While it's being the told, the story of Sex And Lucia is sufficiently seductive to keep you from noticing the holes forming in its universe.

rotten:
It's a hall of mirrors, this flick -- every one of them pretentious.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
What distinguishes Julio Medem's humid, magic-realist eroticon from the average soft-core fare is its writer-director's playful interest in storytelling as a form of sexual sublimation and release.
