	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"Cuarón's devilish talents, and his compulsion to subvert the very genres he's appropriating, serve him in good stead"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cuaron's hot-blooded, haunting and wildly erotic film revels in the pleasures of the flesh without losing touch with thought and feeling"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It is clear Cuaron is a gifted director, and here he does his best work to date (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"An erotic tale of sexual awakening, a bittersweet coming-of-age story and a commentary on class differences....Visually arresting and heart-rending..."	POS
United States	Mark Caro Chicago Tribune	"Raunchy, smart, ebullient, melancholy, insightful, surprising, funny, frank and sexy as all get-out	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Outrageous without being offensive, provocatively and unapologetically sexual, alive to the possibilities of life and cinema, 'Y tu mamá también' is a sophisticated film"	POS
United States	Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle	"Frank, funny and true as 'Ghost World'."	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"Part travelogue, part road picture, part meditation on class, mortality and intimacy, this extraordinary little movie might be the perfect harbinger of summer"	POS
