Watching it for the second time now and Kiss of the Spider Woman really is so so special. JLo is in peak form, Diego Luna is raw and captivating, but Tonatiuh turns in one of the most powerful, heartbreaking performances of the year. In a just world, he'll have an Oscar in 2026.

'Kiss of the Spider Woman' works, even when the music doesn't
Jennifer Lopez is the marquee name, but this adaptation of the Kander and Ebb Tony-winning musical belongs to Tonatiuh and Diego Luna.
