Many people, who went in expecting a slow-paced indie film based on its festival success and awards, were completely caught off guard by just how explicit it really was.
A third viewer didnât hold back, warning: âThis is way too much for Netflix,â while another added: âWtf is this doing on Netflix. I canât imagine what it would do to the sensibilities of unsuspecting families opening it for a mindless Sunday viewing.â
It originally received an NC-17 rating in the United States and was given an 18+ rating in Mexicoâa decision the filmmakers famously pushed back on in court. So, this isnât the first time the movie has sparked debate.
âIâve seen it many times, and notice something new with each viewing.â
Despite the split reactions, Y Tu Mamå También still earns praise from critics for its depth, layered narrative, and subtle political undertones.
