Not so attractive as it could be. As a matter of fact, I think it's an overrated film. Alfonso Cuarón had little concern about the framing in this filme, the environment needed sometimes more freeze frames and less handycam moments. The story it's very poor at the beginning but there is a growing improvement till the end. The best are certainly the roles by Maribel, Diego and Gael.

I had to watch it without subtitles. It didn't pass the Hitchcock test. GG Bernal was perfect.

The film reveals a lot about Mexican culture and society, definitely going beyond the label of buddy road movie. Showcasing Mexican culture, it delivers a reflective, but detached narration that shows the intricacies between the three main characters and what is setting them apart. Beautifully shot and directed the film goes beyond of what one may expect by reading just the synopsis.

After watching this film for the first time in six years, I'm suddenly seeing a lot of Rohmer influence that I wasn't aware of upon my first viewing.

Love it Yo Lo Quiero I went to Mexico again several years ago and My Mission included to visit and follow along the path of this movie I rode in a boat over the monstrous waves laughing amongst the laugh inducing waves to pass by the BOCA DEL CIELO and I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT CON MUCHO GUSTO !! ! !

An exemplar of Cuarón's moral cinema: the camera moves like an observer happening upon the characters and the narrator reports with an anthropological detachment, all with the aim of reminding us: my story is not the only one. Admirable also for its frank depiction of sex, drugs, and adolescence. A road movie, an allegory of Mexico, a call for sympathy and understanding of others: a reminder that Cuarón is a master.

This film examines the variety of human emotion in incredible depth with 3 characters. One of the only films I've watched that allowed me to literally see the development of these characters through the wonderfully complex relationship. 5/5.

this is just a good movie to be missed :D highly amusing, provocative, and sexy in all aspects that serves to mirror the complexities of human nature, emotion, passion, and hidden desires and exploits. to live. to love. to life.

I watched it again yesterday and it was such a thrill watching them together on the screen. hope 'rudo y cursi' will be as good. on the dvd it says: 'best road movie so far' and I'm beginning to agree with this.
