YMMV / Kiss of the Spider Woman

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: A more mild case; it's generally an even split on which of the three most well known versions (novel, film, musical) someone is first exposed to.
  • Award Snub: For the movie: Raúl Juliá and Sônia Braga weren't nominated for Oscars, despite getting Golden Globe nods.
  • Ending Fatigue: Molina is released on parole 3/4ths of the way through the movie. While arguably justified to show how Molina's changed and to provide the Downer Ending, it still feels too long.
  • Fair for Its Day: While Molina was treated in prison as a man, all her friends outside prison rightfully treat her as Luisa, a woman.
