This is the first time Luna and Bernal are working together onscreen since their breakthrough roles in Alfonso Cuarón’s 2001 film Y Tú Mamá También, an erotic romp that explores a love triangle as two teenagers take their love interest on a road trip. Y Tú Mamá También is widely known for catapulting Luna and Bernal into international fame, partly because of the chemistry they have with each other. Thankfully, time hasn’t changed this chemistry: I’m happy to report that Luna and Bernal are back — albeit in a very different context. Unfortunately, there’s no sexy scenes in La Máquina, but both actors play off of each other wonderfully and had me laughing out loud several times.
