Stunning!, 9 June 2004
Author: Exiled_Archangel from Istanbul, Turkey
I was expecting La Mujer Mas Fea Del Mundo to be an average or slightly above average movie. Oh boy, how wrong! First of all, it's unique, but it doesn't screw it up. It somehow reminded me a little bit of El Dia De La Bestia, which I don't know why. All in all, it seems like Almodovar isn't the only Spaniard to direct excellent films. La Mujer Mas Fea Del Mundo is a sci-fi, a comedy, and has a good touch of romance too. The plot is extraordinary and well-managed. The acting is perfect. The stuttering guy and Elia Galera could very well win something like an Oscar. It's quite captivating too, I couldn't leave my chair for a second! A perfect 10 for this great, different movie. Highly recommended!

Nice movie, 7 January 2002
Author: earendil-1 (earendil@3xl.net) from Manresa, Catalonia
It's an original movie, possibly the best of Miguel Bardem: Lola is a girl who was abandoned in a convent because she was "the ugliest woman in the world"; eighteen years later, a professor of university tries an experiment with her, she becomes "the most beautiful woman in the world" and she starts to kill all the Miss Spain, angry with the beauty.
The story happens into a future republican Spain (republican Spain? Really future!), the policemen are stupid (in future, too?) and the movie doesn't lose a little sense of humor, it has a moral and a nice final like a fairy tale.
The lead actress, Elia Galera, maybe needs a little more of experience in acting, but her beauty and style are appropiate for her character.

Slick, innovative, surrealist whit and soul., 24 October 2002
Author: ETCmodel02 from Vancouver BC
Brilliant in every respect, slick sense of humor ALA RoboCop meets Delicatessen and LEXX with a dash of Accion Mutante and a couple of nice nods to the sets of Blade Runner. I loved this. Laughed, cried, laughed again. Excellent! On the technical tip, great Production Design throughout, and very snappy editing and sound design. A total winner!

Powerful performance from the leading lady, 17 January 2007
Author: christopher-underwood from Greenwich - London
Not extreme, not as clever as it seems to think it is and not as funny either but it is certainly very different and tries very hard. One of the main problems is the CGI effects which overwhelm the slight, if effective, storyline. It is very Spanish and is bound to upset many with it's seeming misogyny and quite unnecessary grubby remarks by the police officers. This may all be part of showing how out of touch the Spanish police are but it grates a little today and reminds one of a 70's Hong Kong flick. Powerful performance from the leading lady but that's about it really. Has to be seen but it's only just above average, unfortunately.

Tell me something I don't know, 20 August 2005
Author: Jiji-3 from Montreal, Canada
The move is exceptional in more ways than one, I'd never encountered anything as original. At the same time, it's the most misogynist one I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty. Sexist jokes; demeaning talk; a female antagonist who's "the most beautiful woman in the world" on the outside, but whose true self is evil, twisted and ugly to the last; feminists being portrayed as fat, ugly, raving maniacs - you name it, it's there, and it's by no means there to be mocked at (in case someone was wondering). The fact the movie is a comedy is no excuse - nasty shots at women are often described as "oh come on, it's just a joke" as well but that doesn't make them acceptable. All in all, another potshot at females by a man who's obviously fundamentally intimidated by them. Very interesting to watch no doubt (makes a nice change), but no less typical.
