  "After a stint in Mexican television, Cuarón made the break into Hollywood with his comedy, Love in the Time of Hysteria (1991), about a lothario misdiagnosed with AIDS by an ex-lover...Cuarón returned to Mexico and came out with the earthy and liberating Y Tu Mamá También (2001), his first international box-office hit. " - Ronald Bergan (Film - Eyewitness Companions, 2006)  
     
  "Among the most successful and talked-about Mexican filmmakers of his generation, director Alfonso Cuarón has shown a remarkable versatility, able to embrace old-school Hollywood elegance as well as rough-edged and darker-themed contemporary stories." - All-Movie Guide  
     
  "Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón reached new career highs with his critically-acclaimed, award-winning Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001), a sexually frank coming-of-age tale, set in Mexico, with digressing voiceovers that explored the socioeconomic travails of the workaday people encountered by its principal characters...Cuarón's broad directorial range excels at both a polished big-studio style and an edgier, grittier feel associated with independent productions." - amctv.com
