...if a director isn’t willing to commit to his own movie, then why pray tell should we?

A playful, though not strikingly original, engagement of the unreliable narrator, and a fluffy study of the contrast between wish-fulfilling fiction and cold, hard reality.

It's the old midlife crisis tale, just without a lot of charm or surprises.

Lucía reveals a great deal about herself in 110 minutes of self-fulfilling narration, but imagine how much better the experience would have been had the story allowed itself to match that depth.
08/22/03
Roth, as the writer-narrator and sexy center of the piece, simply shines.
08/15/03
It's being touted as the latest chapter in the new wave of Mexican cinema, but comparing the meandering Lucia, Lucia to a milestone like Amores Perros is just plain loco.

I love a good story, too, but I prefer one that actually goes somewhere (although, as joy rides to nowhere are concerned, this one is a beaut).

Top CriticMore interested in getting to the next plot turn than in telling a coherent and compelling story.
08/10/03
Lucia Lucia is well acted and creatively shot, but the problem is that at its core lies a mystery that isn't terribly interesting.
08/10/03
Serrano's frequently mystifying device of having Lucía's cardboard psyche mess with the audience's minds is ultimately a confusing bore.
08/10/03
The picture aims to be cheeky and interesting. But more often it's annoying.

It's a nifty little premise that becomes even more engaging because of the movie's ability to look at ordinary events through extraordinary eyes.
08/08/03
The film is enjoyable in the manner of a high-gloss soap opera, but its forays into socio-political commentary are as laboured as its unnecessarily labyrinthine construction.
08/05/03
If you analyze it logically, 'Lucia, Lucia' doesn't make much sense, but if you buy into its zany obfuscation, it can be fun.
