The Good Girls (Las niñas bien) Reviews

This thinly stretched premise has no bite aside from Ilse Salas' performance, just some old jewelry over its limp wrists.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2020

[A] gracefully jagged movie, made with a nod to master surrealist Luis Buñuel and a high-gloss aesthetic of fashion magazines, face masks and nail varnish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2020

There is enormous clarity and control in this film from Mexican director Alejandra Márquez Abella, and a tremendous lead performance from Ilse Salas.

| Jul 24, 2020

It's compelling material, yet oddly toothless as polemic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020

Impeccably made and superbly acted, the entire package is absorbing if perhaps lacking in satirical edge.

The result is a movie of unusual intelligence, well-shot and interpreted, decidedly magnificent. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2019

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 4, 2019

Mesmerizing from its first frame...

| Oct 10, 2019

A story about adults who, despite having responsibilities and large amounts of money, behave like children --spoiled, envious, and self-absorbed. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2019

Not since George Cukor's "The Women" has the competitive dynamic among a group of wives been as minutely dissected as here, at least not on the big screen...

| Jun 19, 2019

This social atmosphere of generalized discomfort is successfully rescued by the director. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jun 14, 2019

Márquez Abella proves a thoughtful and measured filmmaker, filling her beautifully shot melodrama with subtle, but effective characterizations.

| Jun 8, 2019

We can not stop looking at the wreck, not even in the final barks. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 19, 2019

A true jewel. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 25, 2019

A neat and perfumed time bomb. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 22, 2019

It is a critical fang, it is a scathing joke that does not seek revenge but waits for the karma of the coward to appear, which depicts the vices of the Mexican bourgeoisie. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Mar 22, 2019

It's one of those stories we've already seen, but [director and writer Alejandra Márquez] Abella keeps things interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 22, 2019

A sign that Mexico makes good movies. [Full review in Spanish]
