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.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

It's a thoughtful film that forces its characters and its viewers to wrestle with the difference between great sex and true intimacy.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

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.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten

It's a hall of mirrors, this flick -- every one of them pretentious.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh

What distinguishes Julio Medem's humid, magic-realist eroticon from the average soft-core fare is its writer-director's playful interest in storytelling as a form of sexual sublimation and release.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
