Reception
Cinémas d'Amérique Latine said that the film "adorned itself with an aesthetic worthy of the most common of soap operas". [2] Some reviews noted the film's feminist themes, with Debate feminista holding it as an example of a film that conveys a narrative of "feminidad odiahombres" ("man-hating femininity"), [3] and Jorge Ayala Blanco in La disolvencia del cine mexicano: entre lo popular y lo exquisito saying of D'Alessio's character that "the fiery Lupita is a typically middle-class suburban phenomenon". [4]
Some reviews also described the film as a star vehicle for Lupita D'Alessio, but that it failed in that task. Ayala Blanco said, "Mentiras becomes, within the Mexican residual cinema with massive prefabricated success, a television by-product whose primary function is the expansion (failed), extension (diminished), applause (deaf), translation to celluloid (vain), and reinforcement (tautological) of a character produced by TV that does not necessarily have to be operative outside its scope.", [4] and Dicine magazine would refer to the film as "that mess called Mentiras with which Lupita D'Alessio tried to inject oxygen into her devalued career". [5]
