Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
Y Tu Mamá También tells the story of two boys who go on a road trip to a
beach they made up with an older woman. The intentions of the boys seem to
be clear: have sex with the woman. On the way they talk about everything you
can talk about, especially sex. I will not say how the movie develops. What
I can say is that it didn't bore me at all. It was fascinating to see the
relationships develop. The relationship between the woman and the boys and
between the boys themselves. It is a road movie, an erotic movie, a drama
movie with sometimes a little too much melodrama, but most of all, I think,
it is a comedy. I had a lot of laughs. The dialogue about sex between the
woman and the two boys, sort of competing with each other, was very funny.
This film is good. The story is great and the camera has beautiful images.
It is not everyone though. It has some graphic sex scenes and the dialogue
has often the same sex scenes, only described. If those things doesn't
matter you because, well, they are part of life, then there is nothing wrong
with this film. One of the better foreign language films I have seen lately.
