Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter 07/27/2002
Never less than involving thanks largely to a spirited lead performance by Mariana Santangelo. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 02/01/2002
3.5/5
Tricky Life is a melodrama with a message, gloriously lurid and atmospheric, seething with Latin passion and -- clearly -- deliberately devoid of subtlety. Go to Full Review Andy Klein New Times 02/01/2002
The basic material is overly familiar, earnest-girl-duped-by-smooth-talker stuff, but the contrast between style and subject give it a fresh feel. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/05/2010 While it was, yes, a "message-bearing" film, it managed to stay away from most of the cheesiness involved in those. Santangelo's performance is refreshing and fun, making it a drama with both its message sent and some laughs delivered. See more Read all reviews
