Our take
Just like cilantro and parsley, this lively romantic comedy brings pungent aromatic depth to its bed-hopping survey of marital crises in mid-’90s Mexico. Although blighted by distribution issues, it makes a riotous addition to the annals of New Mexican Cinema and won nine Mexican Academy Awards.
