Review of Roma (2018) by Vincent — 24 Nov 2018

Simply the movie of the year. A new renaissance of emotional film-making. There is one unnecessary scene that threatens to ruin the beauty of the rest of the movie, but I can forgive it because the rest of the movie is that good. Outstanding film!

Update: Post-Netflix, the theater experience is superior to the television experience sadly. The sound is flat where in the theater it was immersive and 3D (such as the laundry scene and the hill scene with the animals), and the size and scale of the set really is not given its full due on a television screen. I can understand why people who saw this on their television might not get the hype, but it is so much more transporting when the sound/screen is done right. Still a great movie, but it is sad to see and understand why people are not getting the hype/why people are so fascinated and impressed with this film.
