- 75Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachBaltimore SunChris KaltenbachAt times, Sex and Lucia is too precious for its own good; a movie that demands its own flow chart isn't always a good thing. And events turn on one coincidence too many. But Medem's exquisite craftsmanship and full-throttle eroticism make his film a morass worth the attempt to unravel.
- 75Portland OregonianKim MorganPortland OregonianKim MorganThe film is tangled but not chaotic, thoughtful but not terribly deep. Still, it's intimate, entertaining, and most impressive, genuine.
