If you liked Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, not to mention the Oscar winning Gravity, you’ll want to see this 2001 gem that he directed and co-wrote. It’s a funny and moving coming-of-age story that centers on two immature teens who get an education in love when they take a road trip with a sexy, liberated, unhappily married woman. With Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, and Maribel Verdu.
“Easily one of the sexiest and funniest films about class struggle ever made.” — Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly
“Fast, funny, unafraid of sexuality and finally devastating.” — Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
“The ingenious plot alone is worth the price of admission.” — Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
“Sad, funny, sexy, and altogether marvelous.” — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
