    Y Tu Mamá También (2001) Review: A Road Trip With Hindsight

    Y Tu Mamá También is Alfonso Cuarón's road movie about two teenage friends and an older woman crossing Mexico, a raunchy comedy that deepens into something profound.

    Yes. It is one of the great coming-of-age films, funny and frank before it turns quietly devastating. Best for adults comfortable with explicit sexual content.
