Outstanding in every aspect. The film ends with such astonishing power that I'm honestly having difficulty articulating just how good this film is. I can't recommend this enough.

This movie is not just a movie about three people in a car. The things that you see outside the car window are just as important. From that point of view, I found this movie hard to grasp, maybe I should watch it with someone who knows more about Mexican politics in that time...

In other words: people who think this was just a roadmovie did not look well enough. This movie is very political.

Y Tu Mamá También sits somewhere between the documentary and the novel, but it's also the portrait of a generation of Mexican youths, and a snapshot of the Mexican countryside. It often feels like a documentary because it feels so raw, real and improvised (the sex scenes especially). We're just along for the ride as two horny bros take a cousin's wronged wife on a road trip, hoping to sleep with her. What will happen to her and to their friendship sneaks up behind you as you settle in to simply get to know these characters in a leisurely pace. But there's something of the novel to it too, the one stylistic choice of note regular freeze frames so a voice over can tell us back history or what would happen later, perfectly capturing, I think, the notion that this is a moment in time, a stolen season as it were, at once informed by what went before and informing what comes after. A pivot in these characters' lives.

I always enjoy watching a movie with the beautiful Mexican landscape.

To me, this is one of the defining films of my life when I was just starting to discover who I am. I saw it and watched it many times around the time I moved out of my parents and got my first apartment with my best friend around 2004. This film is more than just a great film for that reason. It is almost like a time capsule and the memories I made in that little apartment while going to college will always come back to me when I see this.
