Rápido, nombren un wey más pendejo que el pinche Pedro
🪲Lady bird🪲May 27, 2016This is an absolutely charming, sexy and fantastical film. Do not watch when hungry. Literal food porn. There is literally a scene where a woman goes to shower in an outhouse but is so passionately aroused that a metaphoric and literal fire consumes the outhouse and she…
Savannah OakesNov 6, 2023Como agua para chocolate es tierna, compasiva y muy ingeniosa, como el libro en el que se basa, esta película celebra la cultura mexicana, no solo en la comida, cuya preparación forma la premisa de la historia, sino como una especie de visión alegre de la historia del país…

Look, sometimes you just wanna watch a melodramatic and weirdly horny period drama about a woman taking her pent-up sadness and lust and channeling it into her cooking. It's my right as a woman. I can do that! I should be ALLOWED to do that!

C.C. lovedLike Water for Chocolatecast full of European passing actors as usual. But still, I loved the film and it’s my new favorite Mexican movie ❤️ Super disappointing it wasn’t nominated: the food and traditions were beautifully done.

Metacritic
Like Water for Chocolate creates its own intense world of passion and romance, and adds a little comedy and a lot of quail, garlic, honey, chiles, mole, cilantro, rose petals and corn meal.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
An enchanting story played out by a great female cast, particularly Cavazos as the poor Tita, and unique visuals from Arau. With equal parts melodrama, comedy, tragedy and cookery, Like Water For Chocolate adapts well from script to screen, unlike most Hollywood attempts.
Angie Errigo
Empire
Food and passion create a sublime alchemy in Like Water for Chocolate, a Mexican film whose characters experience life so intensely that they sometimes literally smolder.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
