Sex; it’s sticky, it’s embarrassing and – even in these enlightened days of liberalism and pornography at the click of a button – it’s treated like some sort of shameful taboo by a large chunk of society. There are people out there who think sex is dirty and nasty and inherently bad. You know the type of people I mean; bible-belt housewives, religious zealots and angry old men who are so sexually deprived that they simply hate the idea…

Remember those incredibly philosophical yet simple words from The Lion King? This movie is a cinematic projection of it.

Watching this was an amazing experience. I was astounded by the thought of how a film could be made to seem so simple and care free and convey us such a lot of life lessons. Then I realized, all the truths are indeed simple and it is we humans who complicate it.

How many of us would have really given thought about the reason why the moment we live in is termed The Present? Why was it given that name? Who is this present from? We do not know when our lives would end. We do not know whether…

I'm going to go learn Spanish for the sole purpose of being able to sit back and really appreciate this film. Those subtitles were working their little hearts out just to keep up.

Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN has been described by many as a "sexy" film. If I wanted sexy I would go watch porn or place a dildo in my rear. But damn, yeah, this movie is sexy as hell. And it's wonderfully-acted. And it's beautifully-shot. And it's emotionally whoa look out. The ending is just heartbreaking.

I would give this film 5 stars and possibly place it on my favorite movies list if it wasn't for my linguistic…

From the very opening scene you know what kind of movie you're in for - one that will grab a hold and never let go. What a beautiful, energetic, sexual, and thought-provoking film. Y Tu Mama Tambien makes me want to get out and live a little... live a lot!

It's difficult to put this film into words, and maybe a written review doesn't do it justice. It's both a reflective film and a great cinematic experience. Like any great road film it is filled with great landscapes, gorgeous scenery, and memorable characters with twists and turns throughout. How can things go smooth when two guys take a stunning woman along with them on a road trip with promise of…

Alfonso Cuaron's much celebrated Y tu mamá también is a wonderfully realised depiction of adolescence, a trip that takes the audience through a multitude of emotions and discovery while showcasing Cuaron's electrifying directorial style. The backdrop of Mexico, the heat rising from the roads, is the perfect choice for the coming-of-age story of two young and adventurous men, Tenoch and Julio, and their road trip with the wife of Tenoch's cousin, herself experienced and attractive.

The acting is simply phenomenal and features three equally impressive performances from the leads, making their characters memorable and their exchanges believable. The relationship between the two friends is genuine and heartfelt, while López' portrayal of the broken Luisa is similarly touching. The scenes of…

Sex and breasts. Those two words could be used to describe director Alfonso Cuarón’s Y Tu Mamá También. In reality, however, this film is far, far more than that. Granted, there is intercourse, lots of it, and bare flesh is exposed on many occasions, and the script is explicitly sexual in nature, BUT (yes, but) there is so much more going on. The film weaves a simple tale against the backdrop of modern Mexico, as two rather immature adolescents, Tenoch and Julio, embark on a road trip with an attractive, mature woman, Lusia, to the beach.
Do not despair, though, this film is…
