L.A. Weekly
Climaxes in a flood of revelations that, like so much of the film, take us where we least expect to go. - 80
Wall Street Journal
Elegant and sometimes inscrutable. - 80
New Times (L.A.)
Fans of convoluted narrative in the manner of Christopher Nolan and David Lynch are likely to be intrigued, although Medem has a far stronger streak of sentiment. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Whatever you say about Sex and Lucía, you have to admit that it takes place at a hormonal high tide that never ebbs. - 75
Baltimore Sun
At 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. - 75
Portland Oregonian
The film is tangled but not chaotic, thoughtful but not terribly deep. Still, it's intimate, entertaining, and most impressive, genuine. - 75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
With the story's vivid and passionate women and the power of emotional healing (not to mention the intense eroticism of his hothouse romance), gives Sex and Lucia a dynamic, vigorous life. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
Medem's stupendously gorgeous puzzle movie features strong performances from its four leads.
