Zoe (Bárbara Mori) is a beautiful woman who has been married to Ignacio (Christian Meier) for nearly a decade. While Zoe still loves her husband, she feels the spark has gone out of their relationship, and she's become restless and anxious. Hoping to find the excitement she craves in forbidden fruit, Zoe falls into an affair with Gonzalo (Manolo Cardona), Ignacio's rough-edged but handsome brother. Zoe and Gonzalo's passionate affair is deeply satisfying to them both, but the adulterous couple must deal with the sharp sting of betrayal when Ignacio finds out they've been sleeping together. La Mujer de mi Hermano (aka My Brother's Wife) was the first feature length film from director Ricardo de Montreuil. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Here's a 'steamy' soap opera that's never very steamy, and if you set your expectations low, this movie is only too happy to meet them.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's a gorgeously mounted soap, with enough third-act surprises to justify its reputation (it was a huge hit in Latin America).
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
Soapy, sappy, silly and sluggish, La Mujer de Mi Hermano (My Brother's Wife) is one of those issue movies that wants to cram every hot topic it can think of into a melodramatic situation.
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Debut director Ricardo de Montreuil only cares about filming pretty people in the most hackneyed positions imaginable.
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
A stylish soap opera that casts cultural dramas as melodrama.
