Review of Roma (2018) by Unclewillard — 12 Mar 2019

This is a beautiful film, and a fantastic achievement by Netflix, though I will say it was hard to connect with the characters. I always felt like I was looking at it through a telescope. I couldn't find a character to anchor to throughout, not even its lead, who was phenomenal.

I though Shoplifters, another contender in Foreign Language at the Oscars was far better and more nuanced. It definitely deserved Best Picture over Green Book, as did a few other noms.
