Review of Roma (2018) by Nicholas%20 D — 26 Dec 2018
This film is a masterpiece. I say this even though the film did not connect with me as deeply as it has for some. It is beautifully written, filmed, and acted. It doesn't fully connect for me precisely because it is yet another film written as a valentine by someone who grew up in relative comfort to the lower class nanny/au pere who raised them.
As such, gritty as it can be, it is still the rich man's perspective on how the lower class lives and experiences life, and throughout watching the film I couldn't escape that feeling. I was watching another man's shockingly honest yet at the same time still rose-colored dream perspective of not only his own reality but that of those of a lower social class who helped raise him.
All that being said, Cuaron can't help being who he is. This film is deserving of every accolade and award that it gets.
