Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

42

You could dismiss this swankily shot Latin American trifle as an upscale soap opera, but that would be an insult to soap operas.

The overheated telenovela La Mujer de Mi Hermano bubbles with incest, adultery, religion and homosexuality.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

The movie knows exactly what it's doing, and does exactly what it intends, without making one false move.

Justine Elias Boston Globe (Top Critic)

Brisk, shallow, highly condensed version of a telenovela.

Melissa Levine Village Voice (Top Critic)

Everything happens so slowly, and so meaningfully, that we see it coming for miles.

Jack Mathews New York Daily News (Top Critic)

50

The secrets behind the brothers' long estrangement are revealed in hallowed soap opera tradition, and the improbable ending to the film almost demands further installments.

50

Had the film's director and screenwriter fleshed out the climax of the movie, Hermano's inherent predilection for melodrama might have been more palatable.

Lisa Kennedy Denver Post (Top Critic)

50

A stylish soap opera that casts cultural dramas as melodrama.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

25

The movie is astonishingly simple-minded, depicting characters who obediently perform their assigned roles as adulterers, cuckolds, etc.

Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

63

The film is the cinematic equivalent of a plush bathrobe, wrapped around a story of love and betrayal among the rich, furtive and back-waxed.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

17

Soapy, sappy, silly and sluggish, La Mujer de Mi Hermano (My Brother's Wife) is one of those issue movies that wants to cram every hot topic it can think of into a melodramatic situation.

80

A lean, sexy, scandalous tale involving a love triangle, betrayal and psychological revenge.

Peter Debruge Variety (Top Critic)

This daytime-TV-caliber setup favors shallow titillation over deeper psychology.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

60

It's a gorgeously mounted soap, with enough third-act surprises to justify its reputation (it was a huge hit in Latin America).

Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

A vapid slab of soap depicting a love triangle among three remarkably uninteresting characters.

Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

60

For a movie about an inter-family dalliance, it's far more pragmatic than you might expect, and far more humane.
