100A vivid, thoughtful, unapologetically raw coming-of-age tale full of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
-
100Can be taken on many levels, and that's why it works so completely.
-
100One of those movies where "after that summer, nothing would ever be the same again." Yes, but it redefines "nothing."
-
90The eroticism in Cuaron’s road movie (which broke all box-office records in Mexico) is the real deal: tactile, sexy, psychologically charged.
-
88Like watching an American teen-sex comedy through a glass darkly.
-
80If this sounds like an old-fashioned sex comedy, it is -- sexy, for sure, and funny, in wild spurts.
-
40The film's biggest limitation is its oversexed, underdeveloped male duo. Playing like a south-of-the-border version of Beavis and Butt-head, the teenagers have but one thought in their heads.
