With his eighth and most personal film, Alfonso Cuarón recreated the early-1970s Mexico City of his childhood, narrating a tumultuous period in the life of a middle-class family through the experiences of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio, in a revelatory screen debut), the indigenous domestic worker who keeps the household running. Charged with the care of four small children abandoned by their father, Cleo tends to the family even as her own life is shaken by personal and political upheavals. Written, directed, shot, and coedited by Cuarón, Roma is a labor of love with few parallels in the history of cinema, deploying monumental black-and-white cinematography, an immersive soundtrack, and a mixture of professional and nonprofessional performances to shape its author’s memories into a world of enveloping texture, and to pay tribute to the woman who nurtured him.

Wow, interesting

[Leonidas King]

[GRD43L]

I guess that's the best possible outcome!

[Monterey Jack]

Now give us The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs…!

[Cremildo]

You people happy now?

I hope this means other Netflix movies can be released down the line, like The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

4K digital master but Criterion still refuses to release any 4K UHD's

I'm a bit surprised with the inclusion of Spanish and French subs.

This is pretty much what I want. As well as the Irishman.

Why? Criterion have done subs that match the language of non-English speaking films before, haven't they?

[Kakihara]

Thought this movie was overrated but still an important film to see and it's great news! Also, there's hope for The Irishman!

[Leonidas King]

This is a big news release and then people gotta come in and say that they would've rather gotten The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs instead.

Take that elsewhere. This is Roma's big moment darnit!

[Mandalorian]
