Kiss of the Spider Woman is astounding. If you aren't a musical fan, will you be in hell? Probably. But for those who enjoy a sweeping musical story, or for lovers of Old Hollywood, you'll be in Heaven for the next two hours. Read full review

The effort is strenuous; all 128 minutes of it. But it’s almost as exhausting to watch as it must have been to make. Read full review
