...a confusing and at times silly erotic film with some interesting visual ideas.

Full Review | Original Score: B | May 16, 2005

Don't go in expecting Eurotrash art-porn, for the film tells a beautiful and earnestly romantic story.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 7, 2004

Not every movie that is billed as 'erotic' deserves that distinction, but director Julio Medem's Sex And Lucia certainly does. It's the kind of intelligent, thoughtful film about sex and love that Hollywood just can't make.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 20, 2003

As a randy film about sexy people in gorgeous places being pushed and pulled (literally and figuratively) by desire ... [Sex and Luca] makes for an arousing good time.

The most wondrous love story in years, it is a great film.

Perhaps our confusion is part of the whole idea, but Sex and Lucia would have a lot more impact if there were someone to give a damn about.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 7, 2002

None of his actors stand out, but that's less of a problem here than it would be in another film: Characterization matters less than atmosphere.

Say what you will about Sex and Lucia, but don't call it boring.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2002

Sex is one of those films that aims to confuse.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 17, 2002

While it's being the told, the story of Sex And Lucia is sufficiently seductive to keep you from noticing the holes forming in its universe.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2002

Becomes richer, deeper and more interesting than just a coupling of naked bodies on screen.
