New York PostKyle Smith
Delivers plenty of smart dialogue and devises a number of excellent reasons to photograph his cast in situations that suggest the working title for the film might have been "Women in Underwear." Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore
Gutierrez's script can't supply female characters as believable as Almodovar's, but in the director's chair he gives his cast room to compensate with funny, self-aware performances. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
A wildly uneven but compulsively watchable mix of high camp and grand passions, soap opera and softcore sex. Very much in the deliriously lewd style of Pedro Almodovar. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
The sexual humor is often bawdy, and Gutierrez goes right up to the edge of camp. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
What does it all mean? Nothing much greater than the sum of its seriocomic vignettes. To that end, Women In Trouble tends to sputter to life whenever the stories get racy. Read full review

Village VoiceMelissa Anderson
Awkwardly mixes blue material with sob stories. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla Dargis
The amateurish production values might be pardonable if the clichés -- the hard-core porn star with the soft heart, the therapist who needs to heal herself -- inside the poorly lighted, badly shot images weren’t so absurd and often insulting. Read full review

Time OutDavid Fear
Even if Women in Trouble didn’t keep bringing to mind a superior artist, the film would still be badly written (DOA tangents about cunnilingus and kink don’t make dialogue edgy, only vulgar), not to mention unevenly paced and an embarrassment to all involved. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe Neumaier
Writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez seems to think his characters are oh-so-edgy, and maybe they would be -- if it were 1982. Read full review
