    Medem's astonishing, magical-realist love story Sex and Lucía is easily the best Spanish film since "All About My Mother." But such a statement actually undersells the beauty of what Medem has created, which in many ways rather defies description.

This one is a masterpiece.… Expand

    Was one of the top 10 audience favorites at the Seattle Film festival. I liked it so much that I saw it all three times it played!!!
