Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Sexo, Pudor y Lágrimas is with out question one of México's finest films to date. One tiny detail: dialogs are still a bit off timing...See... when you're wrestling a friend to the floor YOU DO NOT expose your philosophy on love while you beat his brains out!There is a scene in the movie in which something like such happens.Actors do a marvelous job! One of the best I've seen anywhere.I FULLY RECOMMEND YOU SEE IT. You'll have fun and probably find out which of the guys or galls is you... or how many of them live in you.

I really enjoyed "Sexo, Pudor y Lagimas", the movie is original and unique. It shows real life situations, the way relationships break apart and then the analysis of each one's life. The movie is also very funny, but dramatic and sad at the same time. It's good to see how Mexican Cinema is slowly evolving to new ideas and new film making. Susana Zabaleta's performance is very good. The music to the movie is also excellent, I recommend SPL to anyone out there looking to have a good time watching an excellent foreign film.

At last. Mexico's movies were often bad. We love Hollywood so much we are now blocked to accept the evolution of the mexican film making. I loved it because it describes real situations in our society, distant worlds in our minds, selfishness, affairs, etc. Vocabulary plays an important job during dialogs because its the usual, the one used by the people, not the one used in films in past years. Congratulations Mexico!!

Adapted for the screen by the theater play writer, who is also the director; this is a very engaging look at love, sex and human relationships in the 90's.Antonio Serrano offers a view of the relationships of six young people having trouble in life and in love, that is serious without being boring, dramatic without being tragic, comic without being frivolous and familiar without being common place.Practically everybody will find himself, in part, in this tale of the real life, and receive clear and committed advise without having a feeling of being lectured or scolded.A warm movie experience for those that like to be with the film, for more than just the screening time.
