If the shoe fits, go for it, Cinderella might advise. But how about 3,000 pairs of them.

Reviews for Imelda
Imelda is not just in a league of her own, but in a universe of her own.
08/09/06
[Documents] a once-in-a-lifetime development of a certain personality type, the result of which isn't as simple to pin down as we'd expect.

Makes up for what it lacks in political and historical depth by providing a stunning study in the sheer imperviousness of the unchecked and over empowered ego.

Top CriticBoth enlightening and entertaining.
10/01/04
There may be no new revelations in Imelda, but the film still proves highly instructive in the ways in which power corrupts and politics attracts the opportunistic.
08/20/04
Mostly it's Marcos' mysterious sway over those who stood to lose the most from her power, coupled with her amazing inability to face that fact, that makes Imelda maddeningly fascinating.
08/19/04
Top CriticDiaz's portrait of Imelda Marcos attempts to get beyond the shoe thing, into the gothic heart of 40 years of Philippine politics.
08/19/04
As glossy as its subject's heavily lacquered trademark coiffure.

At its most acridly useful when comparing the former first lady's recollections with others' less sanguine memories.
08/06/04
Top CriticInstead of enabling Marcos to tell the world how caring she is, the movie gives her enough rope to hang herself, and she does, again and again.
08/06/04
Even though Marcos, in this film, provides enough material for a few hundred giggles and head-shakings, she also shows a pathetically human side.
07/16/04
Top CriticAlthough the fact that Imelda does most of the talking begins to feel like election year rhetoric or just plain propaganda, there's something perversely fascinating in listening to such sincere self-deception.
07/03/04
The sole conclusion you can make at the end of Diaz's repetitive film is that Madam Marcos is as mad as a hatter.
06/18/04
In addition to being a shrewd character study, Diaz's sharply assembled film reminds us that charm can be as toxic as anything else when it comes to acquiring, holding and abusing power.
06/18/04
Top CriticShe emerges as an energetic, narcissistic, and totally self-deluded woman.
