Mexico City soap-opera actor Eligio is shocked when he learns that his wife, tired of Eligio's chauvinist behavior and constant adultery, has left him for another man and moved to Iowa to join a writing workshop. Determined to win her back, Eligio speeds off to find her, but joining her in the US will come with some culture shock.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

Gael García Bernal is the most charming of actors, and one of the pleasures of his satisfying You're Killing Me Susana is watching him display that quality in a decidedly subversive way.

Variety by Nick Schager

Somewhere buried deep within You’re Killing Me Susana is a commentary on loutish manliness, and the way in which romances are inherently fraught with tensions between individual and shared desires. Unfortunately, such notions are drowned out by all manner of irritating shenanigans.

Arizona Republic by Randy Cordova

Sneider, who keeps the tone starkly unsentimental, manages to stay fairly neutral with the couple. Both characters are wildly flawed, and you can feel your sympathies shift during their knock-down, drag-out fights.

Village Voice by Sherilyn Connelly

Roberto Sneider's You're Killing Me Susana (Me estás matando Susana) is a culture-clash comedy in which the clash happens both onscreen and off.
