A wicked good time. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Writer-director Alex de la Iglesia's bouncy, swaggering satire of ethics-deficient, survival-of-the-fittest free enterprise, peopled by broad grotesques and hysterical caricatures, adds Chabrolian callousness to a cartoonish worldview reminiscent of Frank Tashlin or Joe Dante at their most frenzied. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Perfectly delightful. - 80
Salon
El Crimen Perfecto is a joyride that leaves you feeling drunk and dizzy and swearing that you haven't touched a drop. - 80
Dallas Observer
Tremendously funny and entertaining. - 70
The New York Times
Mr. Toledo's performance as the shallow and cowardly, yet strangely sympathetic Rafael is a wonder of comic timing, while Ms. Cervera is unforgettable as Lourdes, the ugly duckling who becomes not a swan, but a monster. - 70
Chicago Reader
A seamless mix of satire and suspense, with inspired performances by Toledo and Monica Cervera. - 70
The A.V. Club
As it progresses from black comedy to something approaching surreal horror, El Crimen Perfecto swells into a nightmare reminiscent of Griffin Dunne's journey through Soho hell in "After Hours."
