Roma

Roma will be studied for years as a landmark in cinematic storytelling, made even more meaningful because it pays tribute to a character who is usually in the background.

In Cuarón's films, cinema conjures up its own world, and this one provides the chance to explore it with him more intimately than ever before.

It's beautiful story, he shot it himself along side writing and directing, at this stage we can see it in a bunch of different places, its on Netflix & in theaters, but go see it in theaters!

Aparicio, in her acting debut, is remarkable.

Cuarón fills every corner of the frame, just as Fellini did, so that the eye has to roam the screen as though scouring a fresco. But for all the bustle and brio, it's a visually lucid movie.

This has plenty to say about class relations too, but what's most impressive about it is how the Mexican writer-director-cinematographer-editor transforms even his political observations into the stuff of big-screen spectacle.

Alfonso Cauron’s most personal film of his career is his most visual striking film since Children of Men.

...This is no coincidence since Roma represents the portrait of a canonical family model that also collapses, which is also consistent with the prominence of an earthquake during one of the most significant scenes of the feature film.

that is Cuarón’s true magic: when the film is over, although we don’t know exactly how and when it happened, a little part of his Mexico somehow belongs to us too.

Watching Alfonso Cuaron's Roma is almost like flipping through a beautifully-shot album of 1970s Mexico.
