Cuaron demonstrates his capacity as a director. The camera work is impressive, his sense of humor sharp, and the characters are well defined.

Marta Barber, Miami Herald
Rotten

First released in 1991, Alfonso Cuaron's Solo Con Tu Pareja (Only With Your Partner) is a manic puff of nonsense that plays off the AIDS panic of the preceding decade.

Jan Stuart, Newsday

Solo Con Tu Pareja is not as mature as Y Tu Mama Tambien, but it is consistently funny.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Like Y Tu Mamá También, Alfonso Cuaróns first feature, made 15 years ago, is a rambunctious sex comedy shadowed by mortality.

A.O. Scott, New York Times
Rotten

Pushing the dull Cacho as a chick magnet capable of opening any pair of legs suggests that Cuaron's respect for women has gained serious ground since he was 29.

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
