I had no problem staying hooked once I got a sense if the tone and photography... I loved it all. I can't honestly say that I can relate to it much since my parents came from rural Mexico and would've never dreamed to have the kind of luxuries the family in the movie had... but something about it does speak to me on a personal note. Maybe you're right, being Mexican or of Mexican parents makes it more appealing even subconsciously.

I think Cuarón really thought of his native country and Latin America in general when he made this movie. Sadly, we do understand many of the things portrayed without having to research them because our histories are so connected. I do agree is a very slow movie but its also a very satisfying one. There are more way than one to do a movie and people seem too used to fast-paced flicks, which shouldn't be the norm. I wouldn't be surprised if people "don't get it" or if the movie wins more awards. It's that kind of a film.

Grace, im from Mexico. I'm 16 years old and yet the first time I watched this movie it felt so relatable. It really impressed me how a movie based I'm the 60s (when my father was born) could resonate with me to such a personal level. Honestly I don't know if only Mexican people can relate to this extent (but then again this is a Mexican movie not Hollywood) I appreciate all the effort you put into creating all your amazing videos!!! Its one of my favorite channels on KZread!!!!

Alot of Mexican people can relate to this movie. I didn't grow up on Mexico, but I can still feel a connection to my roots and understand the language. I've watched many black and white mexican movies and they have the same feel to roma. Amazing movie! I cried alot at the ending.

I watched Roma and I still love Grace's review because hwo could you not? I could not disagree more. I let it wash over me and it was powerful as a story and as a piece of art. I know the movie is not perfect, but it's damn close to me. Why is this? I think these factors are important to make the difference between good and wow: 1- I don't mind the slow pace at all. If a movie is showing something interesting I don't care if it takes its time. Long conversations and shots can add a lot to a scene for me. Barry Lyndon? That's my jam. I did think for a second the movie was going nowhere, but right there it went somewhere. Loved it. 2- I'm latino. Spanish and latino audiences share many cultural aspects and understand each other very well. The scenarios here look different to a latin american than it does to an american. It helps that Mexico was at the center of a cultural revolution of latino content from the 50s to the 70s 3- I know a little bit about Mexico's history, so that one chaotic and violent scene does not come out of nowhere for me. Again, latinos get each other. 4- I saw it in theaters. I could not get up from my seat, but I didn't want to either, because that thing on a widescreen is just something you have to see for yourself. It's overwhelming, like going into the sea, and I loved it. My fellow Roma lovers agree?

I think art is not about taste but about connection! When I watched Roma I felt it slow the first 20 minutes, but then I connected and I started to feel a lump in the throat, it wasn't sadness, it was nostalgia. I spent the following week thinking about my childhood, and especially about my mother. That's why some people didn't quite like it because there's not plot or story, it's like a painting. I didn't understand it I just connected with it.

Watching Roma on a movie theater screen is the equivalent of looking at the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Watching it on Netflix is like looking the image of the Mona Lisa online. It would've radically changed your experience and also your review.

It took me a long time to finish this movie as well. Like you said, that's probably the biggest problem about watching movies on Netflix. But when I finished watching this movie, I wasn't relieved that that the movie was over. I realized just how little I knew about Mexican and Latin American history, and it made me want to go out and do my research. I think that, that is probably what Cuaron intended. We're so used to narrations and expositions in movies, so we never have time to actually try and figure out what's going on, on our own. The movie is really slow but also engaging. And I ended up loving every minute of it. Thanks for your review, Grace! I love your channel!

An all-time classic in my opinion. Glad you watched and enjoyed!!

If you can find a theatre near you that's showing it, go. The theatrical experience is very much worth your money and time for this film.

Absolutely my favorite film of last year. It felt like stepping into a series of beautiful black and white photographs, complete with sounds and smells of yesteryear. The way Cuaron frames his characters and lets the camera drift through their lives creates this hypnotic, immersive world. A masterpiece.

Stangely, I didn't find it hard to watch even without knowing Cuaron's life story. I finished it in one sitting without pause. On the other hand, I couldn't finish Black Panther. I guess I'm strange.

Glad that you finally reviewed ROMA! Now, I don't think that is valid to criticize the similarities of the story with other films since the script was made entirely from Cuaron's memories, verified and yuxtaposed whith those of the real life characters, with very few "creative" additions or modifications. Otherwise, the movie would be insulting the testimonies of his family. In all cases, the fiction depicted in other movies is similar to the REALITY. Some elements might look a bit surreal and very "Anderson" as you said, but again, the reality depicted was THAT surreal. ROMA aims to pure realism, and that is reflected in the way it was filmed: objective shots with no music to "push" the audience to certain emotion. Every emotion feels real and honest, because everything happened to someone in real life. And life can be brutal.

This is not from the 60’s, it’s from the early 70’s

So glad that you’ve watched this beautiful film

I wish I had watched this review before my initial watch. I couldn’t sleep one night so I put it on and managed to get an hour into it before turning it off. It took a couple of days to finally put the final hour on but when I did I realized I fell in love with the movie. I definitely would have finished it the same night if I saw this video first lol

I completely agree about the beginning being slow, I started it a couple weeks and never got back around to it, but I definitely will now because of your review. Thanks Grace!

Thanks for your review, Grace! Roma is a movie that blew me away. I thought that your criticisms were extremely fair. This movie by Alfonso Cuaron was reminiscent. like you said of Truffaut's 400 Blows. I watched this movie a couple hours before the Golden Globes and it did take me a minute to get into like you'd said. I didn't know that this was Cuaron's first cinematography credit! I was surprised to learn that in this video, and it makes me all the more impressed with his cinematography in this film. I enjoyed your analysis on this film and I'm glad I caught your video! Roma is, in my opinion, a wonderful story that captured me rather quickly and kept me engaged throughout. Great movie!

Ohh my dear Grace, how evident it is you are from the US. The saddest part about Roma is that Cleo’s circumstances weren’t even that bad to begin with and that that kind of treatment of house workers continues to go on. I’m Mexican, and had several heated discussions with people I admire about Roma and they couldn’t see why Cleo was being mistreated. The movie is very important because it shines a light on the lives of these women, that in my native country shape the men that later become Cuarón, and gets the conversation going to touchy topics such as where is the line between slave and worker. Maybe it is because I am Mexican, but the slowness of the movie made me feel reverent to it, and the way life used to be, slow, now like the crazy situations we have going on now, and it added to the 70s feel of it. You are right in that the movie is too close to Cuaron’s heart but to my understanding, that makes it much better, because he tells it with passion.

Read the article first, i didn’t have to, like most mexicans, and the first time i watched it, knowing what i know, i couldn’t believe how raw and vulnerable it made me feel. Cuaron really is too close to the material, but so is every mexican, and for me at least, it was more an experience than it was a film. I don’t think i could ever forget the Birth sequence and the beach group hug, i still get chills when i think of it.

Garace, a fan of the show from Mexico City! Thank you for your depth anlysys and suport of this film! Here in Mexcico we fully support and hope that Roma and Cuaron win and continue to give such legitemacy to Mexican and Latina American films, In Mexcio City we had the priviliage to have Roma screen in some movie thateres and i will say that to see this movie in a big screen and with the audio makes a gigant diference, it makes the expirence so much more imersive and emotive. The move theater was silent when the movie ends and it was a silence of reflection and admiration! if some there is a thetere showing Roma i defenetly recomend you go see! Thanks you fro the show!

You would be surprised, most of Mexico's older films had that feel and style since like the 1930's or so I believe. I think alfonso is highlighting that by filming it in black and white, a style reminiscent to that time period in Mexico.

Speaking of Fellini, didn't he make a movie called Roma as well?

This is a beautiful movie 🎥 🍿 greetings from Russia 🇷🇺

This review is what I've been waiting for. Frankly, I honestly thought you had written this film off lol. Gr8 review, Grace! 🎥

Thank you for this! You're the first major reviewer to review the film and I do believe it deserves more recognition among mainstream audiences. It's my favorite film of the year and I think it's actually the best of the year. I'm from Mexico, so this film impacted me in a big way. I think it has multiple important messages ranging from the class division in Mexico, to the "Mexican macho" way of perceiving men while dismissing women (although things are evolving). The craft the film was made with is amazing, and Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira were top notch. I'm so glad we finally have a masterpiece of a film set in my country and representing my culture so truthfully.

To fully appreciate this glorious masterpiece film, you have to watch it in a movie theatre. One of the best sound designs I've ever experienced.

After my wife and I finished watching Roma, I said, “I think I would have liked this more if I was Mexican.” Thank you, Grace, for sharing those links. They helped me understand the film better. It was apparent that this was a deeply personal project made for Mexico, and it is great that so many award shows are recognizing it. was a beautifully made film, but I agree the beginning was painfully slow.

Hey Grace, hope you're safe from this horrible weather.

I agree i think that more than the whole movie and the story i apreciated more the cinematography, i it was beautiful, but yes the beginning it´s very slow and it doesn´t hook you until more of half of the movie, i think it has a beautiful story and cinematography but it´s not a movie for everybody, not everybody can appreciate it if you don´t know the whole backcround or details of it, it´s a great film but i don´t think it´s outstanding as everybody it´s saying.

Takes awhile to get going but in the second hour builds to a powerful and emotional experience especially the scenes in the furniture store, the hospital and on the beach. The black and white cinematography is reminiscent of some of the great auteur directors of the 50's and 60's.

i saw it in theaters last year! i agree it is slow but worth it, it is now a movie i feel like i'm gonna watch again and again, but i loved it.

I'm Mexican, and im glad to hear your review, Grace. Its true that many times The movie needs a bit more of resarch to the foreing audience, but to mexicans and probably for many countries of Latinoamérica... This all comes to close to our personal lives. That's why I been hoping to talk about Roma with someone from other country so i can fill The gaps through the eyes of someone who has lived and lives this situations. Im not an expert in history or cinema, but as Guillermo del Toro said, Im Mexican. And this is a movie that talk about The present from the past, and its about our time being in a past that came before.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!

Grace I love the mood images that you add in to express ideas, spot on

Its actually pretty interesting that this movie can convey so much without telling you directly. However, from what I've noticed, many of the characters struggle with relationship problems, problems between adult figures and finding true love. It can't be a coincidence that Roma is just *Amor* spelled backwards. But that could be just unnecessary speculation lol

I was bawling at the end.

I think this is Fellini with Tarkovsky. With both these directors they were making films within the context of there time and nation. Roma is doing the same, leaving it up to the viewer to find the context if they are foreign to it.

Hey Grace, love your videos, long time viewer. Will you be reviewing Bird Box any time?

You can tell Grace does not watch art house films.

I've had many conversations with friends about Roma recently and I think as Latinamericans we understand this movie on a granular level, because it's how most of us grew up, the symbiotic relationship between those who are live in help and the family is familiar and easy to understand to us, but I can also understand how it blows some people's mind. Understanding the background and the history is incredibly important to correctly interpret the movie. The cinematography is so unbelievably STUNNING!

Hi Grace! It was so nice to see that you reviewed this film. It Is a beautiful film and I understand that it is slow at the beginning, but in general this movie is so beautiful and it is so important, relevant with a powerful message that I trully beleive nothing this year its so important than this one.

As a Mexican women my Mother and sister and I have discussed that this is a movie for Mexican women, this is a story we've either experienced or seen, and which we still see today, a lot of families even my own has had a Cleo and as kids we don't understand where these women come from or what hardships they have faced so I found it amazing to give light to those women who have worked and supported families all around our country.

Is this worth watching?

I am only seeing it now as well... just to find out what the hype is all about and before the Oscars ! I want to see if this really deserved best direction and more ...

It's a movie for all those who are emotionally invested and those who can derive feelings from people's faces without any words being said. If you are able to feel and decipher other people's emotions then you'll like this movie.

I like how you took your time preparing and making this review. (I assume)

Agreed completely. Took me several attempts to finish the first 15 minutes. Lol.

Gracias, Grace! To me this movie was all feeling. I did the research as well after watching it and it’s all fascinating, but I keep to just want to immerse myself in the movie again and let it take over. I’m grateful for this movie.

I could easily fill in any perceived blanks due to Cuarón’s emotional honesty, which made the lens disappear.

I started watching it the other day but I got a little bored so I stopped, I'm gonna try again after reading the articles that you mentioned

I loved Roma, don´t know what you are talking about.

Thanks. I'll give the movie a watch but I'll watch it horizontally because I'm tired.

I knew nothing about the film, became totally absorbed during the opening credits. LOVED IT! Just enjoyed the journey. Watched Roma after Solo. What a pallet cleanser! My wife and I were jumping up and down when the film won a GG.

If you have a chance, it's still playing, watch it in a movie theater. The photography, the sound it's worth the extra viewing.

Thank you for reviewing this movie. I’m from Peru and this seemed like very familiar ground but I think if you don’t come from a Latin country it might be tough to get hooked without knowing the story. Thank you for adding the reading.

I love this vid grace your awsome ❤

Watching this in the theatre was mesmerizing and the sound design was as great as the cinematography. Watching on Netflix would be easier to see take breaks and feeling it starts slow.

Lov u greetings from argentinaaaaa

Hi! Grace, I am waiting to see ROMA at a cultural cinema with the specific audio requirements to enjoy it. Then, I will let you know it.

Another great review.

An experience and glimpse in the life of a live-in maid in 70's Mexico. It is a vibrant film which takes advantage of being black and white for the emotions of the characters to shine in various colors.

One thing that most viewers of non Latin American descent or those who don’t fully understand indigenous culture is why Alfonso uses black and white as the main color of the film, is due to the fact that Mixtecs are those who come from rain. The shots in the beginning and end represent the cycle of how rain is always going up and down. The subject of occult brings a new light on indigenous culture that many don’t see in the shots that he presents to the viewer.

You saw it with breaks? How would you like to see it without breaks?! I kept wanting to run out of the theater... So depressing! Yes, it was great cinematography, but so depressing.
