"La Mujer de mi hermano" tells the story of a young woman's illicit sexual reawakening by her husband's brother. The film has an alluring taboo nature, and is a feast for the eyes due to beautiful cinematography as well as a very attractive cast, lead by the gorgeous Bárbara Mori.
The film takes many cues from Hollywood's best erotic thrillers (and "Unfaithful" specifically), as it interweaves suspense into the intimate moments as well as the interplay between characters. The film builds steadily with fine editing and a predictably unraveling plot to a truly disappointing finish that feels partially sappy and partially insulting.
