Mark Caro

Raunchy, smart, ebullient, melancholy, insightful, surprising, funny, frank and sexy as all get-out. Read full review

Michael Sragow

A great, lusty movie in the tradition of Bertrand Blier's "Going Places." Read full review

Roger Ebert

One of those movies where "after that summer, nothing would ever be the same again." Yes, but it redefines "nothing." Read full review

A.O. Scott

Director Alfonso Cuarón works with a quicksilver fluidity, and the movie is fast, funny, unafraid of sexuality and finally devastating. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Like watching an American teen-sex comedy through a glass darkly.

New Times (L.A.) Bill Gallo

In elevating bawdy teen farce to political metaphor without squeezing the fun out, Alfonso Cuarón has pulled off a nice little miracle.

Leonardo Garcia Tsao

The 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. Read full review

My favourite movie of all time. The writing is second to none, and Maribel Verdu's performance is a revelation.

A new way of telling two periods of Mexico: the future of a tyranny at the beginning of the new millennium, and a free interpretation of the Spanish conquest. The film takes us along roads of life, where each path leads us to a destination that we will not know how to be the same again.A new way of telling two periods of Mexico: the future of a tyranny at the beginning of the new millennium, and a free interpretation of the Spanish conquest. The film takes us along roads of life, where each path leads us to a destination that we will not know how to be the same again. Places where the hidden before our eyes is revealed, and where you can also find what we have always sought ... just need to get lost and find the way.… Expand

You call this a movie? It's hardcore/softcore porn with a plot. If the director added a few more sex scenes this movie would've premiered on the Spice Channel.

If the director added a few more sex scenes this movie would've premiered on the Spice Channel. The director might as well said "We're gonna film two Mexican boys getting their brains screwed out by a 28 year old harlot as they traypse across Mexico in search of a beach that doesn't even exist." which is wrong from the get go. If I want to entertain myself with something like this nature I'd read Madame Bovary than watch this sexed up piece of crap.… Expand
