Movie Review: Y Tu Mamá También


Rating:  ★ ★ ★ ★ 

In the beginning you have a feeling that it's going to be another road trip movie, but you are really wrong. YTMB is all about liberating yourself and finally realizing that sex after all is overrated.

The way director has focused on the psychology of characters makes us love them even more. We shun our moral judgement for a while and think whether what we normally believe about life is true or not. In the start boys keep on fighting because they had 'made' each other's girl-friends but later in the movie they forget it and laugh about it. Also, Lucia keeps on feeling sad because her husband has cheated on her but in the end chucks everything and forgives her husband or at least tries to. Lucia help the boys realize that we have take things in our stride and the boys teach her the same thing.

I like the movies which affect the core of human heart, and question our beliefs and what is wrong or right, in short help in maturing the mindset of people. Though not everyone would like what is shown in movie but it surely is another perspective. It makes us recognize that it's we who impose conditions on ourselves and in  certain circumstances we might go against the normal and feel absolutely o.k about it.
