Sexy Latin cook Isabella (Penelope Cruz) isn't happy slaving away at her husband Toninho's (Murilo Benicio) beachfront restaurant.

Look away for a moment here and you'll miss out on another voodoo god, another painting coming to life, another love spell working... Woman On Top clearly and dearly yearns to be a spellbinding exercise in magical realism. Trouble is, Fina Torres' film lacks any lightness of touch and, even at only 80-odd minutes, still plods.
