It physically pains me to report that Alfonso Cuaron’s long anticipated follow up to his 2013 critically acclaimed masterpiece Gravity is, unfortunately, a flat and ever prolonged emotional dud. A one-hundred and thirty-minute passionate project that’s based on Cuaron’s own childhood, Roma follows a family and their maid that slowly but surely unfolds its flush hand in a sad manner of a placid, albeit weighted emotional substance that fleets in such an elongated and weak fashion.
Roma begins in a beautifully intoxicating fashion via outrageously beautiful visuals that are executed throughout in astounding monochrome from director ,and first time credited cinematographer, Alfonso Cuaron. Primarily enforcing slow pans that encapsulate the broader...

You rarely see such an intimate tale painted on such a large canvas. In telling a story based on his own youth, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón has made an epic movie about the women in his life. If that sounds a bit unusual, once you see the movie, it all makes sense. This is a flick that’s a tribute to these women, told in a specific yet universal way. Ever since the fall film festival circuit began, it has been getting almost exclusively raves. I’m here to continue that goos word of mouth. This is one of the best foreign works of the year, and just quality cinema in general. Netflix will be streaming this one next month, but it’ll be doing a limited run in theaters starting this Wednesday. It deserves to be seen on the big screen too. The film is a period piece drama, set in the early 1970’s.
