    Mexican films are making waves. With the success of Mexican directors like Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo Del Toro, Mexico is slowly making its way to Hollywood and global audiences alike.

    'La Mujer de Mi Hermano' is a story about a man, his wife and his brother. Wife gets bored o...( read more)f man, wife seeks refuge to man's brother, wife and brother form an incestuous love affair, wife gets pregnant, man is devastated.

    Though that is not all. There is a shocking twist near the end. It is about man and his closet.

    All in all, an effective film with good acting and with it a good backstory. The leading lady is hot.

    Has lots of twists and tturns.
    The actors were good in their roles.

    It's a little confusing by the end. I would say it's a bad movie.

    Se hablo mucho en una pelicula donde debian reinar las emociones. Soy latino y muy orgulloso de esto, le hemos regalado al mundo gigantezcas obras cinematograficas como Y Tu Mama Tambien, El Espinazo Del Diablo, Plata Quemada, Huevos De Oro, Como Agua Para Chocalate, Dias De Fut...( read more)bol, y muchas otras, pero esta no fue la correcta. Y no era imposible hacer que fuera al menos buena, esta pelicula mataba una esencia como la de Clint Eastwood en Bridges Of The madison County, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain o Woody Allen's Match Point o Closer. Temas reales con fuerte contenido social que jamas quieres que te pasen a ti, pero no fueron bien interpretados, ni expresados. Con grandes fallos tanto en la direccion como en las actuaciones, donde solo se luce uno de sus actores, Christian Meier.
    Fue como ver una gran telenovela de Univision pero con malas palabras y desnudos.
    Perdonen pero es cierto.

You've seen hotter stuff on Oxygen. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie is astonishingly simple-minded, depicting characters who obediently perform their assigned roles as adulterers, cuckolds, etc. full review

    I just saw La Mujer De Mi Hermano and I may sound a bit biased since I am a huge Barbara Mori fan, but as always I thought she was great...but the real treat here was Christian Meier, he really seems to have evolved as an actor with every character he does. The ending is a powerful one and all three actors come in true sync with their respective characters. This is the second film Meier has done, based on a Jaime Bayly character and here he hits a bang! All three main characters are subtle yet very effective with their portrayals..simply amazing, chic and sexy all throughout.

    I had a slight problem with the fact that sex was a little bit overdone...It somehow felt that some of the sex talk scenes took away from the actual story and felt more like a filler than to have any substantial purpose. This was one of the main reasons I would rate this movie a 4.5 star of 5...It was a great movie that had a great pacing for the surprise finale and I was a bit baffled about one of the charac
