Coming of age story? \\xa0Sexual awakening? \\xa0Road trip movie? \\xa0These all characterize Alfonso Cuar\\xf3n\\u2019s tale of two young men and \\xa0one women whose lives intersect for a brief period one summer\\u2026 kind of. \\xa0While this film displays a keen understanding of convention it constantly subverts expectations and values along and becomes something all the more charming, touching, challenging, and political at heart. \\xa0Two future superstars, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna alongside Maribel Verdu, propel this still iconoclastic film to a rare stature alongside the best of Mexican cinema.
