Summary

"Kiss Of The Spider Woman" is an American musical drama film written and directed by Bill Condon.

Jennifer Lopez stars in the titular role, alongside Diego Luna and Tonatiuh. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received generally positive reviews from critics for its direction, performances, and craftsmanship.
