two bros wanking on diving boards 5 feet apart cause they’re not gay

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Watched for a project I’m working on that may or may not end up on the channel, genuinely not sure. Very much in love with this movie. The way it starts with sex as a way of depicting union and ends in a split as though this whole thing was one giant transformation into something that’s been subtly (debatable) teased throughout the entire film. That something being how society, specifically Mexico at this time, disrupts love. In the end you feel sad but not in a way that’s surprising, and it’s because they basically show what is inevitable throughout the whole thing only for it to happen to a relationship you felt couldn’t possibly be broken. Julio and Tenoch are…

It's stupid how many times I thought something was wrong when the sound stopped for the narrator to speak.

watched it with my mom... i'm so brave
Review by Aaron Michael ★★★★ 3

Devastating. I found myself tearing up when they finally reach the ocean. The movie captures that magical feeling you get when it feels like the whole world stopped spinning just for you. That feeling, when you have it, provides such relief. But it ends, of course, and the film pushes you back into reality in a way that is so deft and honest. It ends with everything piling up at once and leaves you paying the bill, still grappling with the feelings you never asked for in the first place.

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…

not gay enough
Review by kailey ★★★★★ 17

so, the two teenagers have a manifesto. the woman has a manifesto. everyone has a manifesto. let's see about this film's manifesto.
Rule 1: there are two boys and a woman. boys love girls. girls love boys. boys love boys. don't worry about it.
Rule 2: the country side is hot and expansive and your car is so small and limited. you stare out the glass and try to understand. don't think too hard.
Rule 3: don't ask the woman you've tricked into coming along on a road-trip to a beach you've made up too many questions. you don't want to know.
Rule 4: there are also things even your best friend doesn't need to know. bury your resentment of…

LAS MARAVILLOSAS ACTUACIONES DE DIEGO LUNA Y GAEL GARCÍA BERNAL SE ROBAN LA PELÍCULA, LA QUIMICA ENTRE ELLOS Y MARIBEL VERDU ES MUCHA, UNA JOYA
Review by Maria ★★★½ 4

The Criterion Challenge 2021 #18 | 2000s
Y Tu Mamá También is an intimate snapshot of a hot summer’s day, following two teenage boys and an older woman on a tumultuous road trip to an imaginary beach in Mexico. Stripped of inhibitions, the film uses sex to explore the ephemerality of life and its characters’ own self-discovery, as they attempt to seize the moment with chaos.
Julio, Tenoch and Luisa try to savor every moment away from their responsibilities and the world that seems to be falling apart around them. First in their car, then on the beach, they’ve found a corner of peace where they can be together and share their fantasies with each other openly. The film’s style…
Review by eshlee ★★★

watching this movie felt like peeking through the doors of a boys locker room. i did enjoy it, but i do get the sense it definitely wasn’t made for people like me.
(but she is very hot and i liked the music and a lot of the shots were so pretty)
life is like the foam, so give yourself away like the waves.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

honestly? ive never seen a movie like this before. im not good at writing reviews and i dont really know how to describe the emotional response the tension and build of this movie has, especially near the end when everything comes crashing down but in a subtle way mirroring the inevitable disappointments of life but at the same time reflecting the joys and the "sea" of the present moment. goes to show u never know what a certain trip of last minute decision may have an affect on the rest of your life. i laughed a lot and also cried a lot and the reoccurring themes of life, of death, and what it all means will never leave my mind.

Watched in my living room
Review by Josh Goodman ★★★★★

4K restoration on Criterion looks fuckin gorgeous. This movie is still transcendent. These beautiful long shots Cuaron is kind of known for are here but it’s much more subtle here. He just leaves the camera in a position to watch our characters living and breathing in a real world brimming with life. The shots scene where the camera follows Luisa to the jukebox and she turns around to dance with the camera... crazy stuff
Review by RobertVance ★★★★

A strange, erotic story about love, sexuality, what it means to live, and death. On top of this is the political commentary of the two Mexicos. Amazing movie
