This is a true return to form for Alfonso Cauron, who truly deserves the new gold statue for this film. An excellent comeback after the dreadful Gravity. This film is so real, there's a very nice quality to it, the performances all invite you to this place. It's wonderful! Got choked up when Cleo says she didn't want the baby. Poor Cleo. She deserved her Oscar nom, but I'm glad she didn't win honestly.
There are some moments here and there that could be a teeny bit better, the sequence where they went to that place and had a shindig wasn't very interesting and didn't add anything. The bit with the fire and the kids were dumping water on the fire and that guy stepped into frame and sang for a minute I did not like. Out of place, weird, and kind of cinematic which I hated.
So the family was named Sofi, and the daughter was also named Sofi? Sofi Sofi?
Glad the movie won Best Foreign Film. Alfonso deserved his awards, unless it's true there was another cinematographer and he took the credit was eh, maybe it isn't true who knows.
Why was it nominated for BFL and Best Picture? Isn't that the same award? Can someone explain that one to me?
I've seen Black Panther and BlackKklansman and those are the only other BP nominees. Considering everything I'm hearing about the other ones... This one should have won. None of them in my opinion are best picture worthy though (the ones I've seen anyway and considering all hearsay).
Top 8 Best Movies of 2018 (I need to complete my top ten list by seeing all the potentially great movies like Suspiria, Mandy, The Favourite, Ralph Wrecks the Internet etc)
Least to best: Black Panther, Roma, Sorry to Bother You, Halloween, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Creed II, Avengers: Infinity War, best: WIDOWS
Roma I gave a 9/10 on IMDb and for Letterboxd I gave it a 4.
Now can Inarritu redeem himself? Birdman I remember really liking a lot, Babel is a good movie, The Revenant I couldn't even fuckin watch.
Guillermo's golden though. (Pan's Labyrinth is a masterpiece, The Shape of Water was the second best of 2017, deserved his awards, the Hellboy movies are great, The Devil's Backbone from what I remember was interesting) Alejandro sucks but now we finally have a ripe two amigos lol. Fuck you, Gravity. I love you, Prisoner of Azkaban (one of my fave HP's).
