According to The Washington Post, the movie “Roma” is Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón’s portrait of his own youth in 1970s Mexico City, that manages to be intimate and epic, minutely observed and monumental, tender and exacting all at the same time.
Focusing on the nanny who cared for him and his family during his parents’ divorce, this exquisitely filmed chronicle — photographed in silvery black and white — feels less like storytelling than poetry, shot through with shrewd social observation that never swamps the film’s deep emotional core.
Roma was chosen by Time magazine and the New York Film Critics Circle as its best film of 2018, as well as by the National Board of Review as one of the top ten best films of 2018. It earned a nomination for Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and has been selected as the Mexican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.
