Mad Love Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
Equal parts bodice-ripper and plodding costume drama.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
There's a little violence and lots of sex in a bid to hold our attention, but it grows monotonous after a while, as do Joan and Philip's repetitive arguments, schemes and treachery.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A sexy, peculiar and always entertaining costume drama set in Renaissance Spain, and the fact that it's based on true events somehow makes it all the more compelling.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Ends up being mostly about ravishing costumes, eye-filling, wide-screen production design and Joan's wacky decision to stand by her man, no matter how many times he demonstrates that he's a disloyal satyr.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
An often watchable, though goofy and lurid, blast of a costume drama set in the late 15th century.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Like an Afterschool Special with costumes by Gianni Versace, Mad Love looks better than it feels.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Overwrought, melodramatic bodice-ripper.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
dwells on questions of Joan's madness to the point of exhaustion
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
If you're in the mood for impressive castles and sumptuous costumes, torch-lit processions and decorative nudity, this is the place to turn.
Associated Press
Sheila Norman-Culp
Every historical film, it seems, has certain requirements: galloping horses, characters swathed in yards of tapestry fabric, demure yet treacherous ladies-in-waiting. Mad Love has all that and more.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A bodice-ripper for intellectuals.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The gifted and lovely Ms. Lpez de Ayala makes Joan both an imperious queen and a passionate creature of desire.
L.A. Weekly
Daniel Fienberg
De Ayala is required to supply too much of the energy in a film that is, overall, far too staid for its subject matter.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Adroit but finally a trifle flat, Mad Love doesn't galvanize its outrage the way, say, Jane Campion might have done, but at least it possesses some.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The trouble with making this queen a thoroughly modern maiden is that it also makes her appear foolish and shallow rather than, as was more likely, a victim of mental illness.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Aranda's screenplay and direction are rather shallow, so that this bodice-ripper feels more like a Lifetime made-for-cable movie than an epic, tragic romance.
Oregonian
Kim Morgan
Accuracy and realism are terrific, but if your film becomes boring, and your dialogue isn't smart, then you need to use more poetic license.
Sacramento News & Review
Mark Halverson
So vivid a portrait of a woman consumed by lust and love and crushed by betrayal that it conjures up the intoxicating fumes and emotional ghosts of a freshly painted Rembrandt.
