My Mother Likes Women Reviews
It's a warm, sunny film that should remind viewers favorably of an early Aldomovar film, in which strong, beautiful, but slightly nutty women carry the day.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 29, 2004
Sounds like a bad Almodvarian television sitcom pilot.

Elvira, Sol, and Jimena -- named for women in the life of El Cid -- are so spoiled and blind to their mother's happiness that they're often thoroughly unpleasant.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 3, 2004
A graceless film about hateful people...apart from some Prague scenery in the last act, My Mother Likes Women is thoroughly ugly.
Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 19, 2004
A sometimes cloying mix of screwball comedy and drama.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2004
Ines Paris and Daniela Fejerman's film does provide a measure of pleasure and a delicious premise that, wittier and less shrill, could be a terrific, timely and original remake for American audiences.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 6, 2004
An aggressively silly take on subject matter that deserves more thought, but the performers -- virtually all of whom are women -- have so much energy and conviction you almost don't notice.

Sard never makes a believable lesbian.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2004
It's little more than an amusing sitcom.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2004
This is a Spanish treat! Not really about lesbianism, but rather a broad comedy about a neurotic twenty-something trying to make sense of it all.
| Jul 29, 2004
Less side-splitting than a sad reminder of the past.
| Jul 9, 2004
Likeable, not loveable.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 9, 2004
...it's hard not to root for all these characters to get what they want.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 27, 2004
Offers some pleasures along the way, including an engaging performance by Leonor Watling.
Full Review | Jun 24, 2004
Like a fourth-generation duplicate of an original--curiously pale and tired although straining for vivacity and color.
| Original Score: C | Jun 20, 2004
Skirts predictability and political correctness in equal measure, adding up to an entertaining night at the movies.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2004
Starts strong but then degenerates into a sort of screwball comedy that doesn't serve its premise well.
| Jun 19, 2004
Despite the promise of its title, this is a movie that skirts the issues of gay relationships at every turn.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2004
