Reviews for Mad Love
The gifted and lovely Ms. López de Ayala makes Joan both an imperious queen and a passionate creature of desire.
09/06/02
Top CriticIt's López de Ayala's show, and she's relentless in her energy and passion.
09/27/02
It's like an old Warner Bros. costumer jived with sex -- this could be the movie Errol Flynn always wanted to make, though Bette Davis, cast as Joan, would have killed him.
09/13/02
An often watchable, though goofy and lurid, blast of a costume drama set in the late 15th century.
08/29/02
Top CriticNo review available.
07/23/05
The film may occasionally feel like a political science lesson brought to soap-operatic life, but it's well acted and artfully done.
08/30/02
A compelling Spanish film about the withering effects of jealousy in the life of a young monarch whose sexual passion for her husband becomes an obsession.
08/30/02
A sumptuously-appointed account of the life of the 16th-century Spanish royal Joan of Castile.

Martyr gets royally screwed and comes back for more.
08/22/02
If you're in the mood for impressive castles and sumptuous costumes, torch-lit processions and decorative nudity, this is the place to turn.
08/29/02
Top CriticA chick flick of the first order, disguised by just enough historical detail to elevate the proceedings somewhat.
01/10/03
The film benefits from a phenomenal central performance by Lopez de Ayala.
08/29/02
So vivid a portrait of a woman consumed by lust and love and crushed by betrayal that it conjures up the intoxicating fumes and emotional ghosts of a freshly painted Rembrandt.
10/24/02
A bodice-ripper for intellectuals.
09/20/02
Top CriticLopez de Ayala's exquisite acting makes us feel the frustration and sadness of a woman fighting against betrayal from all angles.
08/30/02
A sexy, peculiar and always entertaining costume drama set in Renaissance Spain, and the fact that it's based on true events somehow makes it all the more compelling.
09/06/02
Top CriticInteresting both as a historical study and as a tragic love story.
