Reviews

Critical reception of Las amantes del narco II has been mixed. According to IMDb, the film holds an average rating of around 4.9/10, indicating a generally lukewarm audience response. Some reviewers appreciate the film's raw portrayal of the drug underworld, noting that John Solis delivers an authentic depiction that offers insights into a seldom-seen perspective. A review from a niche Latin American cinema blog praised the film's willingness to focus on the female narratives within the narco world, highlighting strong performances and effective storytelling as standout elements. However, many critics have pointed out technical and narrative flaws, such as uneven pacing and underdeveloped characters, which hinder the overall impact. On Rotten Tomatoes, Las amantes del narco II doesn’t have a significant critic score, reflecting its status as a lower-profile release. Metacritic also does not have aggregated scores, suggesting limited mainstream critical coverage. Fans of the first movie and the genre may find value in the film’s continuation and exploration of its themes, but it may not appeal broadly due to its niche focus and presentation style.
