Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
No wonder Daniel wants Laura: I almost fell in love with her myself.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Features uniformly good performances by the actors ... But the clichéd, heavy-handed script lets them down.
Ernest Hardy, Village Voice
The film powerfully hits the note of universalism that is its goal; haven't many of us fallen for someone that we, they, and the world deem out of our league?
Annlee Ellingson, Moving Pictures Magazine
At once compassionate and honest, Me Too challenges perceptions about the inner lives of the differently abled.
Diego Costa, Slant Magazine
The film manages to un-blemish the presumed "abnormal" while asking if it isn't "normality" itself that's in dire need of a checkup.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
The ardent quest of a lonely and accomplished young man with Down syndrome for normalcy and intimate love.

Yo, Tambien managed to challenge people's perceptions of normality, but many will find the movie, challenging because of its subject matter. However, it was a honest look at how people with Downs Syndrome were treated, by society and by their own overprotective families.The movie maintained a sense of dignity in its treatment for the lead character.There were some subplots around another Down Syndrome couple, who wanted to experience freedom, but less successful. Actress Lola Duenas was very good in a difficult role and she gave a very emotionally performance. They developed a very strong character development, showing real chemistry between them and that was what lifted up the movie.If one did not know how quite talented Down Syndrome people are, you will realize it in this movie, and that made this movie so fabulous.
