"Kiss of the Spider Woman," starring Jennifer Lopez and Tonatiuh, struggles under director Bill Condon's vision. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, it attempts to adapt the acclaimed Broadway musical from Kander and Ebb. While Lopez delivers an impressive performance, the film is criticized for its incoherence and lack of depth. The contrasting worlds of a bleak Argentinian prison and the vibrant escape of musical fantasy are meant to hold power but result in a muddled narrative that fails to engage. Overall, the film's failure to balance these elements leaves viewers unsatisfied.
Star Jennifer Lopez shines in her role, showcasing incredible singing and dancing talent. However, the film struggles with its narrative structure and visual presentation.
Director Bill Condon's adaptation fails to capture the stark contrasts between the harsh prison reality and Molina's vivid, escapist fantasies.
