THIS SHOULD’VE BEEN MEEEE!!!!!

It’s crazy how beautiful cinema can be, the way that two young, horny Mexican teenagers celebrating being cum brothers is able to bring such a genuine smile to my face and warmth to my heart. An ode to the fleeting nature of youth and its relationship to sex, adventure, and friendship, Y Tu Mamá También is a beautiful and honest coming of age road trip movie and I cannot believe Hollywood producers watched it and decided Alfonso Cuarón was the right man to direct the next Harry Potter film. And they were right.

Never subscribed to any of the criticisms around recent Wes Anderson work, but feels like they’re all appropriate here. Obviously looks great and is quite funny, plus I think any film which features a basketball scene with Bryan Cranston & Tom Hanks is worth a watch, but yeah, a real lack of heart and anything or anyone to latch onto here. Constant stream of lines and gags that wash over you.

Came out of this feeling the same way I did coming out of Mission Impossible: Fallout. It’s an absolute triumph in action cinema and a landmark moment for the genre. Just makes you want to shout ‘Movies’ at the top of your lungs as you’re walking out of the cinema.

The people who don’t like this are cowards
