An absolute rare gem of a movie. I connected with the story in a way I wasn't expecting. Beautifully shot, acted and a story that pulls on your heart strings.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a vibrant (despite the fact its shot entirely in black and white, which would otherwise give it more of a classical feel) depiction of domestic life in Mexico in the 1970s . I liked the characters, the way they interacted, particularly the childrens enthusiasm, that made me smile.

This film contains both sadness and hope, at different times. At times the camerawork was quite floaty and could almost make you dizzy as it panned around a large communal area and at other times, the camera appears to be hidden at the back of the room or place the scene is set in, as if the characters are being spied on. It concentrates on both families and community - in some scenes, we see some quite pretty landscape panoramas and in others we're peering out at domestic settings. There are some interesting lines of dialogue, such as 'remember, the mind is the motor for the physical'. Its quite a thought provoking watch and I found it quite tense and gripping towards the end.

I'd certainly say its a memorable film - if your keen on world cinema then its well worth a watch, in my opinion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alfonso Cuarونn has made a film with "Roma" that is filled with cinnamon extract, like thick, fresh honey dripping from bee squash and pouring down a tree trunk. "Rome" is a film that combines the intimacy of "boyhood", the poetry of "Tree of Life", the spirit of neorealism of Italian cinema, the personal epics of Frederico Fellini with the gigantic dimensions of "Avengers". But at the same time, it is a film that is stamped by the director himself. In other words, "Rome" is one of those independent films whose generation is almost extinct, and we should be grateful to Netflix for investing in such a valuable antique in today's cinematic space. The result is a film that is as pure a representation of cinema as the works of Beethoven and Vincent van Gogh, representatives of music and painting. Big movies almost never become big movies because of their story, but because of the way they are told and performed. The challenge is how the filmmaker can make the most of the capabilities of his medium of art form to convey a story that we have heard many times or a story that is pristine and fresh; How the filmmaker cultivates his art form and succeeds in concentrating his rebellious power and employing it by pulling his reins. A filmmaker's true quality is determined when he or she speaks the language of cinema, along with all its dialects and accents, as if it were his or her mother tongue. With Rome, Cuarونn proves that he has achieved such a transcendent degree of filmmaking. "Rome" does not seem to have a strange story. On paper, everything is in its simplest form. The film is summarized in the bittersweet episodes and fragments of the main character's daily life. But when Cuarرn turns his camera to this simplicity, what we see is a magnificent, breathtaking expanse that seems to last forever. "Rome" is more than a narrator of a story, it is a cinematic reconstruction of an era and a translation of many complex emotions in the form of cinema. In this sense, "Harm" is as much a new event in his career as it is a follow-up to the form and, of course, the theme of Cuarونn's previous two films, and makes his filmmaking strengths more prominent, more advanced, and more refined. Just like "Children of Men" and "Gravity", which, despite their large apocalyptic, sci-fi, and blockbuster dimensions, have been attacked by weeds and rust in the absence of children. The wanderer was in zero gravity to cope with the death of his child, and here too Cuarونn depicts the world and the people who live on it in a frame, thereby creating an interesting entanglement between the two meanings. That is, Cuarونn portrays human experiences, despite their seemingly insignificant nature, as fateful, cosmic, and gigantic events, making the world so small that it fits in the blink of an eye while maintaining its indigestible volume.… Expand

I disagree with some of the extreme fanfare, but that is not to say that many of his works are quite stellar. While I still prefer Children of Men, Roma offers many new experiences that I admit to enjoying. Roma is mostly a stark drama which explores class divide, marital struggle, and how unresolved broken relations can leave lasting wounds. The cinematography is the best part of Roma; there are maybe two poorly shot scenes, but the others more than make up for these. Roma is filled with expansive landscapes and busy scenes. The set pieces and extras are phenomenal; nothing feels phoney and there is a lot of everything. The riot and search scenes are filmed over large sprawling areas with well-coordinated groups of people all portraying different characters. Roma tells the story of a dysfunctional family, the maid who serves them, and the struggles they face as the economy and family structure collapse around them. Cuarón has truly created a long-lasting masterpiece in Roma, something that will be studied and returned to again and again.… Expand

Las actuaciones no se me hacen la gran cosa, la historia se me hace como un capitulo alargado de la rosa de Guadalupe pero de mayor presupuesto, tiene escenas incomodas e innecesariamente estupidas como en la cual la pareja sexual de la protagonista empieza a hacer una especie de arte marcial completamente desnudo y otra donde detienen un incendio. Ademas de que se siente demasiado lenta y con muchas escenas sin chiste.
Ha sido una de las pocas peliculas que estuve de punto de dejar de ver de lo mala que se me hizo, ademas pienso que la calificacion de la critica esta realmente inflada y solo apoyada porque el director es de renombre, al igual la nota de los usuarios se me hace muy alta.
Sin duda esta fue la pelicula mas sobrevalorada de su respectivo año de estreno.

It takes it's time to tell a story, and it makes that clearRoma... is single handedly the most slow paced and boring movie I have ever watched. But it is also the most exciting, scary, thought provoking and interesting movie I've ever seen. It takes it's time to tell a story, and it makes that clear in the first couple minutes of the film, where we watch a floor being washed for a solid 3 minutes, which doesn't seem like long but it drags on. The first two acts are interesting, sure, but slow and it drags out. Then all of a sudden, in the third act, BAM! everything happens, and we have been well prepared with the previous hour and 30 minutes of film to deal with it. It is definitely not everyone's movie, but wow, it's one hell of a snail ride.
The cinematography speaks for itself, as most people associate Roma with the cinematography. It is fantastic, probably the best I've seen, but people don't give enough credit to the sound editing. If you haven't seen it yet, do NOT watch this on a tv (unless itis widescreen surround sound) watch it on a big phone or tablet, with a wide screen and put high quality surround sound headphones in. Obviously It would of been ideal to watch it at the cinema, but it's too late now. You really need to pay attention to this movie, don't have it on in the background, you need to watch it and focus on it
The reviews speak for themselves, this is less of a movie, more like Art, with a Capitol A.… Expand

“Roma”, written, directed, edited, produced, and shot by Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Gravity) is a plain and simple masterpiece. Set in 1970’s Mexico, the film follows Cleo (played by first-time actress Yalitza Aparicio), a middle maid“Roma”, written, directed, edited, produced, and shot by Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Gravity) is a plain and simple masterpiece. Set in 1970’s Mexico, the film follows Cleo (played by first-time actress Yalitza Aparicio), a middle maid for a middle-class family. The film began streaming on Netflix December 14th of this year. The story of Roma is an unusual one as it seemingly has no narrative structure. It follows Cleo as she performs her duties as the surrogate mother of the family, goes on dates and hangs out with her friends. Despite the loose structure, the story is far from listless. It possesses a hypnotic pace; slowly drawing towards an emotional climax. The seemingly meandering plot turns out to actually be a meticulous set up for not one, but a sequence of gutwrenching payoffs towards the latter part of the film. This film is one of the few in Cuarón’s filmography that isn’t shot by longtime collaborator Emmanuel Lubezki with Roma rather being shot by Cuarón himself. That being said, the influence of Lubezki is certainly felt on the style of cinematography (though similarities to the 3-time Oscar-winner is hardly a bad thing). That isn’t to say the film lacks visual character. it’s shot in stunning black-and-white with the camera moving in a hypnotic, smooth manner; rarely interrupted by cuts. The acting is as excellent as one would expect, with Yalitza Aparicio being a standout. Because of this, it is unfortunate that Cuarón rarely gives his actors the opportunity to show off their skills, as the camera is often pulled extremely far out; not allowing for much expression. There is an unspoken rule in film criticism to be sparing with the word “masterpiece”. If one overuses the term, it loses its gravity. That being said, Roma is a film worthy of the title. It is a narrative and technical marvel. It is an absolute masterpiece.… Expand

This is an amazing visual masterpiece and a great example of wonderful cinematography. Director Alfonso Cuarón made an incredible and realistic representation of Mexico in the 1970s, there's so much attention to detail in every single shotThis is an amazing visual masterpiece and a great example of wonderful cinematography. Director Alfonso Cuarón made an incredible and realistic representation of Mexico in the 1970s, there's so much attention to detail in every single shot that really indicate that this movie is about the experience and not the plot.

By that, I'm saying that the weakest point of this movie, for me, at least, it's the weak and simplistic plot. If you tell to someone that hasn't seen the movie a basic plot summary, that person might not find it too interesting. Obviously I'm not expecting dumb action or explosions or whatever, I do appreciate slow-paced movies when they have interesting visuals and this is one of those movies, but you need to be lying if you don't say that the plot of this movie isn't anything special and if you watch it and you ONLY focus on the story and not on anything else, this movie might become boring for you.

The direction is fantastic with tons of dynamic and complicated shots and tons of style and attetion to detail. Believe it or not this is a big scale movie because there's always tons of things happening on screen to watch and talk about. The setting feels organic, feels massive and realistic, it honestly feels like the crew traveled back in time to film in actual 1970s Mexico.

The acting is fine. Nothing bad or nothing too great. There wasn't any actor that I felt that gave a bad performance, every actor seems to have made the best with the characters they were given and again, nothing too special, I honestly don't think Yalitza Aparicio's or Marina de Tavira's acting was something Oscar-worthy, not saying they gave a bad performance, but nothing great, either.

When I said this movie is about the experience is to appreaciate anything but the plot or the acting, this is not a film for everyone which, for me, it's something bad because I think that the greatest movies can appeal to almost everyone and not only film critics, film experts or film students or art-house lovers. There are tons of movies that can appeal to anyone and are at the same time great artsy movies.

I actually liked this movie, but I don't think it's anything outstanding.… Expand

This review is for the album "Music inspired by the film Roma" since the album is not on the website. This album is a brilliant musical restitution of the movie's atmosphere, that is eclectic and yet homogeneous. Stunningly gorgeous.

This movie suffers from lots of problems in the senario and I can't understand the characters ans why they do this madness behavior. It really needs to describe more about what the f*** is happening in the city and inside the characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was memorable primarily for the tedium it brought to the screen. The subject matter has marginal merit--there are millions of such stories, mostly mundane such as this one--but most do not involve lengthy segments of material irrelevant to the focus of the movie (unless, of course, I just missed it; but that raises another issue...). What was the street battle all about? Why drag a weirdo ex-boyfriend back into the film after he had left the scene? Many minutes of screen time were spent on him and extraneous events related to him. There were many other tidbits which, when all are linked together, made this movie unpalatable and a waste of time. If you like art films, by all means, indulge yourself.… Expand

Plenty of scenes that are fillers and don't particularly go anywhere. I found some parts patronizing/ condescending, trying to show the "poor girl that faces plenty of difficulties in life" and "she is a minority!! look at her, so poor!" kind of thing. It is like watching the life of a regular person, with ups and downs, and nothing more. The ending is abrupt, showing that there is really no real message, nothing concrete. It is a mash-up of things that can happen to anyone's life but what can be attractive to some is that it is not what many people might have lived in their lives. It is like a person that wants to go to a "poor country to appreciate life more" kind of thing. Maybe the "there is people in worst situations than me, why am I complaining about what I have?" message is understood as the "feel-good" part or "touching" and some people have said.… Expand

In many ways, it reminded me of films from the 1950s and 1960s from European directors, mainly Italian, such as "Bitter Rice", "The Bicycle Thief", "Open City", Michelangelo Antonioni, Robert Rossellini and Victoria De Sica. The main differences are that these films and directors didn't take 2+ hours to tell their stories or linger too long even by a second on a scene whether it be a boy looking out a car window or a dog jumping up against a gate. They brought new cinematography to the screen and more depth to their stories.

Maybe it has been a long time since critics/people have seen such films that reflect life between the classes or maybe "Downton Abbey" has given them a false picture of the same. There are little passions or emotions shown by the director/screenwriter Alfonso Cuaron.

The surprising aspect of "Roma" is the acting debut of Yalitza Aparicio as a maid who has a warm connection to the children of her employers and though she is a presence throughout the film it only comes alive when it concentrates on her trials and tribulations.

With the exception of maybe 15 minutes, I was bored during most of the 2-hour 18-minute "Roma".… Expand

From the trailer, plot description, and lavish,A movie like Roma does not come along too often. The new film by master filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón has the look and feel of an epic film and the intimacy and emotion of a small, personal film. From the trailer, plot description, and lavish, wordy praise it’s received from critics you might get the impression that Roma is the epitome of an arthouse movie. Perhaps it is, if that means it is also a beautiful, superbly crafted, and deeply affecting cinematic achievement. It’s hard to describe what makes Roma so special because it elicits such an emotional response in the people it connects with, myself included. Roma works on so many levels I suspect any viewer will connect with it in some way.
Cuarón’s screenplay is loosely based on his experiences as a boy in Mexico City in the early 1970’s, specifically on his relationship with the family maid/nanny. This is not a story about a young boy, however. Seeking to pay tribute to the women that raised him, Cuarón makes them the focus of the movie. He even dedicates this film to his real life nanny, Liboria "Libo" Rodriguez. We follow a year in the life Cleo, a servant for an upper-class family in the Mexico City district of Roma. She cleans the house (including endless amounts of dog poop), cares for the children, and is treated as lovingly as a servant can be by her employers. First time actress Yalitza Aparicioas Cleo is so good and feels so natural in her role that she’s earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Marina deTavira has received a Supporting Actress nomination for her role as the family matriarch, Sofia.
Cleo’s eventful year begins when her boyfriend abandons her in a movie theater after she tells him that she is pregnant. At the same time, we gather from overheard snippets of conversations between Sofia and other adults that her husband has left the family. She tells her children that their father is on a long business trip in Canada. Sofia and Cleo do not necessarily become any closer, but Sofia and her mother are happy for Cleo and take her to see the doctor. The life events in Roma, both big and small, are episodic, but thankfully the story never meanders or feels aimless. Cleo accompanies the family to a relative’s estate, goes on a search for her wayward boyfriend, and goes with the family on a vacation to the beach. The outside world intrudes abruptly and harshly into Cleo’s day to day life though natural and man-made disasters. The focus is kept on Cleo throughout these events, which in a way makes them more real. A forest fire at a New Year’s party provides some of the film’s most memorable images. Just as the children are only marginally aware of the world of the adults until they feel a direct effect, so too are the adults with the larger world. Roma is not without some heavy-handed moments such as when a toast to someone’s doesn’t happen because the cup breaks, or when the characters go to see Marooned (I’m sure both Cleo and Sofia feel that they have been marooned by the men in their lives).
For Roma Cuarón did the cinematography himself, and it is safe to say that he learned a thing or two from his long-time cinematographer, the legendary Emmanuel Lubezki, who has won 3 Oscars in a row. Cuarón shot his picture in glorious black & white on 65mm cameras. This is what makes Roma so visually stunning and gives it the feel of an epic. Typically, 65mm cameras are used for big budget action films like Lawrence of Arabia, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and, most recently, Dunkirk. When a modern filmmaker uses black and white, they tend to emphasize shadows. Cuarón’s camera captures wonderful shadows but it is much more concerned with what light illuminates. Sunlight seems to make everything it touches have an ethereal and dreamlike glow. The black & white makes every image feel like an old photograph conjuring old memories and emotions. Whenever the camera moves it is slow and deliberate and long, unbroken shots are numerous. Cuarón does not use many, if any, close ups. Instead his camera keeps its distance acting like window into Cleo’s life. The emotions in this story are so universal that you don’t need tight close ups on faces to know what a character is feeling or share in their emotions.
I expect Roma will challenge Children of Men’s title as his masterpiece and make an appearance on the next round Best of the Decade lists.
Roma received a very brief theatrical release from its online streaming distributor, Netflix. It played in Austin in just one theater for two weeks and I was lucky enough to see it on a big screen. Seeing these images projected larger than life was a very enjoyable experience. I watched Roma again on my TV recently, and it is still visually and emotionally compelling. This is the sign of a truly great film. No matter how or when you see it, those sights and sounds will swirl around and take you on a journey.… Expand

Not only is Roma (2018) Alfonso Cuarnó’s most personal work, it’s also his best. The film grabs you from the first frame, and doesn’t let you go until the end of its 2:15 run time. Cuarón’s mastery of the camera is evident in scene. Every shot contains so much painstaking detail; you can’t help but feel the passion and commitment that went into this project. Roma, is the story of Cleo who works as a maid for a middle class family in the 1970s. The film documents a year in her life.
Before I discuss anything else, let me heap more praise onto what Cuarón did. To take these childhood experiences, and recreate them in such a loving way is something truly special. The writing in this film is simple yet moving. The film really made me care about, and connect with the character of Cleo. Cuarón’s cinematography is something to marvel at as well. Each shot is beautifully presented, and the lighting is top notch all the way through. I could go on about how great the camera work is, but I won’t. Just know it’s something special and go experience it.
The performances are all strong. Particularly those of Cleo and Sofía, played by Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira. Both embody the strong female figures that become the focus of the film. Aparicio as a first time actress is particularly impressive, she delivers a powerful performance full of emotion. The acting nominations for these two, were well deserved.
Roma is a masterpiece. It is the culmination of all the work Alfonso Cuarón has put in throughout his career. I was skeptical going in (mostly due to the fact that it’s a Netflix movie) but I loved every second of it. This movie is a victory for foreign film makers everywhere. It’s a shame the Academy didn't pick Roma as ‘best picture’, because it deserved it more than any of the other nominees. Regardless, Roma is exceptional in every sense of the word and deserves to be experienced by anyone who appreciates the art of cinema. 10/10… Expand

Trajo escenas majestuosas como el plano secuencia final en Niños de Hombre o la escena inicial en Gravedad. Pero con esta consolida ese estilo implantado sus anteriores realizaciones.

Lavar los platos o limpiar el corredor de una casa se vuelve hermoso y se siente real. Planos generales y pausados, mostrando la influencia que tiene de Emmanuel Lubezki con un trabajo excelente en la profundidad de campo, van envolviéndonos en la cotidianidad de una empleada doméstica de una familia medio acomodada durante los 70. La estupenda fotografía de Cuarón y la edición convierte a la película en una recordatorio fiel y con el mismo impacto de un documental sobre esa época, trayendo una experiencia sensorial pocas veces vista en una película.

No solo la recreación de la época sorprende, sino el retrato que hace sobre el rol de la mujer en la familia a través de Cleo, recordando y tributando con esperanza y deseos de reflexión. Cuarón toma momentos de su vida para construir este relato contemplativo y pausado que llega a un punto de clímax pasando por escenas que hipnotizan por su complejidad y belleza. La actuación de Yalitza Aparicio cautiva desde el inicio, sin impostaciones ni sobre-actuación, mostrando una imagen honesta sobre su condición y además la soledad y miedo al desamparo. La nueva actriz a logrado conmover y mostrado su talento en esta película, que seguro sera recordada como lo mejor del cine latinoamericano moderno.… Expand

( 72/100 )
.
Roma es una colección de fotografías que evocan una memoria con un valor sensible increíble, pero, como dije hace un párrafo, no puedes planear una memoria, y Roma es una memoria muy bien planeada.
Cuaron no es un tonto y estoy seguro de que sabe cada una de las razones de sus decisiones y el alcance de ellas, lo admiro plenamente por ello. Sin embargo yo no me dejaré llevar tan fácilmente.
Roma relata uno de los fragmentos más importantes en la vida de Cleo, quien trata de darle vida al recuerdo de Libo, quien fue la sirvienta, cuidadora y nana de la familia de Cuaron. Cleo será quien nos transporte por la ciudad y las habitaciones; quien nos hable de las personas, de los romances y odios; las clases sociales, los paisajes, los niños, los adultos y, en sí, el panorama intimo de la sociedad mexicana en los 70's.
Cuaron reafirma su capacidad de hacer cine y su gran habilidad poética. Él se demuestra como una de las personalidades más responsables, humanas, emotivas y conscientes en su arte. Esto no es nuevo, pues en cada uno de sus proyectos sorprende narrativa, visual y simbólicamente. Sin embargo, Roma, como una carta personal a sus seres queridos, no lo siento como su mejor proyecto. A pesar de que cuida y detalla cada plano de sus tomas con paisajes, eventos y rostros, la película es pesada por el hecho de que pretende hacer que su público contemple lo más posible. Uno de los amigos con los que fui a verla mencionó al salir: "Siento que la película podría alargarse todo lo que sea y yo podría seguir viéndola a gusto." Le doy la razón, el nivel de encanto que el público le tenga a la película depende del nivel de atención que le preste a Cuaron, y la paciencia de cargar, no solo con la historia, sino con el lugar y tiempo mismo de la exposición. Dicha exposición es, repito, una colección de memorias fotográficas. La memoria no necesita de narrativa extra, de visualización extra, de buenas actuaciones, de un guión, de una dirección y de un elenco enorme para construir grandes y bellos espacios, sino al revés. El contexto, la actitud, la interacción y la situación están delimitadas por la misma memoria fotográfica. Y Cuaron tomó sus mejores fotografías, las recordó, construyó un escenario para recrearlas, escogió a la gente necesaria para representarla e, independientemente de la calidad, la presentó. Eso no solo es injusto, sino también un golpe bajo. Por eso hay gente enojada con Yalitza Aparicio y su falta de trayectoria; y Marina De Tavira y su falta de presencia comercial. Pero también es por eso que han sido muy merecidamente premiadas con sus nominaciones al Oscars.
El ingenio reside en que Cuaron ha escogido los retratos más bellos no de su vida, sino de la vida. Así como esas pequeñas brisas de paz que me acariciaron aquel día en el que estuve en el bote, él toma a todo su equipo y los pone frente a la cámara para reaccionar ante la belleza de la vida y sus diferentes significados. La belleza de hablar con un niño, la belleza del cuerpo, la belleza del llanto, la belleza un abrazo, de un temblor, tanto en el cuerpo como en el alma, de una abandono, de una búsqueda, de una lucha, de una muerte y una victoria. Cuaron sabe que hay belleza en la vida y lo usa a su favor, usa a la vida para expresarla en su película junto a un elenco que no necesita nada más que ser sensible a ella misma. Por lo tanto no importa que la fotografía tenga efectos especiales, o que el guión salte abruptamente a una resolución incoherente con la actitud de los personajes, personajes que no demuestran un estilo de vida extraordinario. Mientras todos los elementos sean bien advertidos de qué, lo que están haciendo no es actuar y trabajar, sino vivir, todo estará bien. No me quiero extender más. El film es hermoso, y está muy bien filmado, la esperanza que tiene Roma en que el público sea tan sensible, paciente, atento y melancólico es demasiada. Personalmente, tengo suficiente belleza en mi propia vida como para querer verla a través de las fotos de alguien más. Otros tendrán suficiente belleza en la suya como para apreciar la de alguien más. Otros carecerán de belleza en su vida como para ser capaces de admirar la de alguien más, o tal vez carecen tanto de ella que son incapaces de reconocerla aunque la vean en una película. Sea cual sea la situación, Roma es una belleza que no es difícil encontrar en la vida que cada uno de nosotros va fotografiando y coleccionando en su memoria.… Expand

Yönetmenin, 70'lerin Meksikasını bize yansıtmak için siyah beyaz yapmayı seçtiği filmin neredeyse her resminde geniş açıyı tercih etmiş. Seyirciyi filmin tam anlamıyla içerisine almak için de pan ve dolly hareketlerini çok efektif biçimde kullanmış bence. Başından sonuna kadar sıradan ama sıcak bir hikaye işlenen filmin uzun ve tek planlı sahneleri filmin sanatsal yönünü de bir o kadar ortaya çıkarmaya yardımcı olmuş. Ayrıca uzun sahnelerdeki trafik de yönetmenin bu film için ne kadar titiz çalıştığını gösterir gibi. Cannes film festivaline, Netflix yapımı olduğu için alınmayan film bu sebeple bu sene oldukça konuşuldu. Bence de eğer bir festival bu sebeple film kabul etmiyorsa tüm kabul ettiği filmler bağımsız olmalı. Kısacası tam bir yönetmen filmi olan Roma, kesinlikle izlenmesi gerektiğini düşündüğüm filmlerden biri.… Expand

The script was poorly written. Much of the acting overdone. I kept waiting for some redeeming value. I can't understand why the movie received any rating above 30.

But then you notice how everyone interacts with Cleo, and how in many ways Cleo is central to the family, yet she's ignored and always in the background taking care of them. The audience realizes that Cleo takes care of the bigger day-to-day family life duties that both parents are neglecting. Cleo tries to have her own life, but it fails in the worst way. Cleo is afraid of losing her job, but receives comfort and understanding from the family without judgment instead. It is the final incident when the entire family realizes what Cleo is to them. That's when Cleo can finally admit to them what she's been truly feeling and that's what causes the family to grow together. I hope these independent movies continue to grow because I'm really tried of seeing studio films where it's just one physical fight after another using special effects. The true battles in life are what's within us, and movies can help teach us how to make lives better. In this case, appreciating the contributions of an indigenous woman, and no matter her station in life, how she helps the family in so many ways besides housework. The family give her a job and out of poverty, and she in turn gives back much more than that in emotional support and love.… Expand

To say that the pace is glacial would be an insult to the comparative fleetness of those rivers of ice. The plot is mundane, dialogue sparse, and action is almost non-existent. If you enjoy watching a maid do dishes, pick up dog poop, and do the laundry by hand, this is the movie for you.

It was a review of the daily life of a poor Mexican servant who got pregnant by a guy who left her the minute he found out about the pregnancy. This certainly has happened in poor southern rural places in America numerous times
It just seems the director had to show this poor Mexican lady's life to make a underlying politcal point. It also didn't explain much about the political strife in Mexico at the time. That would have been nice. Overall , a good film but certainly not Pan's Labyrinth .… Expand

Fuera de eso, la base del film es una historia más de criadas como hemos visto miles en todos los países de Latinoamérica. Con una materia prima tan gastada cuesta hacer algo mejor, aunque esto es una película muy íntima de Cuarón y a esa realidad que vimos era a lo que él aspiraba llegar con Roma.… Expand

Have I read such appalling and lacking translation. Black and white worked to emphasize an otherwise over-stylized piece of UPPER-MIDDLE-CLASS this is my NANNY STORY. Yes, I like much of it, but some of it was HEAVY-HANDED e.g. the opening scene of endless washing. And the ZERO translation of the native dialogue? Of the head-dress man at the fire scene? It was all ironically ahistorical, too in leaving out the geopolitics of the US at the time, which is reduced to TV watching, i.e. cinema. If this is the best you have, please take GIRLS creator Lena with you- overrated, self-important, smug as cool, in-crowd. I don't see a masterpiece. I just see another Coppola-esque production, i.e. well-connected, well-produced, well-heeled, but underwhelming and overrated.… Expand

Roma is anAlfonso Cuaron has made a name for himself as a stellar director but his passion project, 2018’s Roma, is an impressive feat even for this Oscar-winning heavyweight, who not only directs here, but writes, shoots and edits as well. Roma is an ode to Cuaron’s childhood in Mexico City, told through the eyes of a young housekeeper, Cleo (newcomer Yalitza Aparicio), whose life we see unfold against the backdrop of political turbulence.
Roma is a definite exercise in artistry; this film is absolutely gorgeous, shot in vintage black and white (a pretentious yet oddly fitting decision), full of wide and detailed shots that immerse us within the world. As well as beauty, there’s a phenomenal sense of authenticity to the film, whether it be in languid scenes that play out in real time or in the film’s intricate sound design, which favours the ambience of street noises over a stringed orchestra. The technical mastery of Roma, however, acts as both its greatest achievement and its pitfall. The film’s design somewhat overshadows its plot, hiding a flawed picture beneath its glossy exterior. Much of this movie, in particular the middle, is rather mundane, struggling to reach the high emotional stakes one expects. The narrative rambles and there are numerous points where the film feels restrained by its luscious presentation. The factor that prevents Roma from becoming simply a parade of pretentiousness is the clearly deep personal reasons behind which it has been made; though the film is not always consistent, Alfonso Cuaron is an attentive director and his intelligent and gentle screenplay is one of the film’s greatest strengths. In all truth, when Roma hits gold, it’s a subtle, yet deeply moving film; scenes in the third act particularly are very well done, serving that desired emotional resonance that the rest of the film desperately fails to deliver. Yalitza Aparicio gives a wonderfully natural performance as Cleo, but the real stand out performer of the film is Marina de Tavira as Sofia, the mother of the family. De Tavira produces the only performance that truly gripped me, never allowing herself to be overshadowed by the virtuous design of the film. Equally satisfying is Cuaron’s clever inclusion of political context that provides for the most pleasing dramatic moments.
Roma is likely to find great success in the awards season this year; credit should be given to the sheer flair of the film’s design and Cuaron’s astute writing and cinematography. However, beneath the art of Roma lies a lesser film, that only sporadically hits its targets of emotion and excitement.… Expand

Yo soy del tipo de personas que gusta de ir al cine y ver una historia en la pantalla. Como se desenvuelve y como llega a un clímax y a una conclusión.
No soy para nada un experto en cine, ni mucho menos. Ni tampoco soy amante de Derbez u Omar Chaparro, como muchos de los simpatizantes de Cuarón gustan etiquetar a los que no piensan igual que ellos.
Hablando objetivamente, la película tiene una fotografía increíble, como todas las películas de Cuarón (obviamente este es su fuerte, no la trama. Como ejemplo, tenemos Gravity).
Yalitza como Cleo hizo un buen trabajo considerando que no es una actriz.
Pero de ahí en mas creo que intenta demasiado ser una película "inteligente" de "arte" con su filtro en blanco y negro que no agrega nada. En fin. Cuarón una ves mas demuestra que su fuerte solamente es en lo visual, en lo que a historia respecta es aburrida y nada especial. No por nada la mejor película de Cuarón es Harry Potter 3, porque tuvo un gran material para trabajar.… Expand

Directed and written by Alfonso Cuarón.
The best thing about this movie, is the outstanding technical part for sure, there are so many fantastic things in this movie about this that i don't think that it is possible to put in words, it is so giant and amazing the job that they have done with immersion, this is probably one of the movies that i have felt more immersed while watching it from all, the movie is slow, but this happens for you to hear every little thing that is happening in that place, to see and feel every little small and single thing. The photography in here is also gorgeous, the camera movimentation is so sweet, is so not intrusive, it feels that you are there, watching from far away, the way that the camera is positioned in this film, so as it is moved, quietly and slowly, all of those things together allows you to almost smell the place.
The choregography in some more agitated and with violence moments are also perfect, because you can't tell that there is one, everything feels so real, in a level that got scary.
The story in this film is, for sure the biggest problem, so as the biggest differential in here, is definely what separate people that gonna love it and find it a disgrace. The thing about the story is that first, it is really real, real in way that everything could be happening inside of your own house, or with your neighbor, so it don't have a big narrative, plot twists, a big construction, it is really simple in a way that, as i said, could be happening to anyone. Another thing about this narrative, the director wanted to make us immerse a lot in this film, wich worked 100%, but in other hand to do it so he had to use some time in order to let us feel the place, a lot of time is in simple things, like Cleo cleaning, or th owners of the house parking the car in the garage, so there a lot of time in really small things, that can make in some moments you get tired, but it works perfectly in the immersion aspect. The narrative overall being so slow does bothered me, in some moments i started having my mind somewhere else, but in others the realism really cought me, fascinated me how that could literally happening in next door.
The story does have different layers and aspects, it talks about the social difference between Cleo and the people that lives in that house, how do they treat her, and how her life is. There is the political aspect of Mexico at that time, with a lot of fights, war and death, moments that shocked a lot. And of course there is the way that Cleo sees all of that.
This is movie for me to be rewatched and get more and more, understand more and more what Cuarón was telling.
This is a story with a lot metaphors, one of the most real stories around there, really remarkable moments and scenes that i would say that already are in the history of movies.… Expand
