the movie is so naturalistic that it's like a dramatized documentary; "Roma" is gorgeously done, yet you may feel gently absorbed in it more than you're deeply moved by it
thanks to Cuaron's own remarkable 65mm cinematography, it feels as if the filmmaker is writing his memoirs with moving images, yielding a hypnotic effect closer in style
exquisite; It is humane, beautifully shot in glorious black and white, full of keen observations, intimate details and nuanced performances; "Roma" is the director's most personal and intimate film, and a great work of art
a majestic feat of filmmaking, an intimate portrait of a family that also serves as a broad portrait of a changing nation; Alfonso Cuaron creates "Roma", such a vibrant world that it demands to be seen on the biggest canvas possible
"Roma" may not be the memoir film many might have expected from such an adventurous, sometimes raunchy, sci-fi/fantasy-oriented filmmaker, but it's absolutely fresh, confident, surprising and rapturously beautiful
