« A road movie, comedy, coming-of-age tale, a structured essay and drama all in one – Y tu mamá también is an undeniably touching film, marked by directorial fluidity and a raw, honest simplicity. It expanded my younger self’s understanding of cinema’s emotional and stylistic range, and showed me how far ahead some filmmakers truly are. » (Anselm Havu)

« There are plenty of boys-to-men films about the raunchy adventures of pleasure-seeking teenagers, but Cuarón's inspired and exhilarating road movie taps so directly into their teeming energy that it all but levitates off the screen. » (The A.V. Club)
