Technically beautiful with a deep heart to match.

I didn’t hate this film nor did I particularly like it...

While the performances are immaculately genuine, Cuarón’s unparalleled direction convinced me in every aspect since he never loses focus with trivialities. Read more

A patient but deeply moving and human story in the context of something much larger and more historic. Read more

A stunning humanist tapestry which should be seen by any self-respecting film fan.

There are highs and there are lows but it is real, it is personal, and it is so heartfelt it hasn’t left me since viewing it.

Viscerally and emotionally, this cinematic exercise of harrowing gratitude is a transcendent experience... Read more

Roma is not only a visually stunning film, it is a real and honest portrayal of a semi-biographical film based on Cuarón’s childhood experience. Read more

Sure, it is very artsy. The stillness of its protagonist. The occasionally obvious visual juxtapositions. The black-and-whiteness of it all. But Cleo’s story is heartbreaking, compassionate, intimate, and elegant. Read more

Life, Cuarón seems to suggest, can be beautiful, but it can turn nasty at any moment, so savour the moments of beauty where you can. There's much to savour in Roma. Read more

Yet another impressive technical accomplishment for Cuarón, Roma explores the filmmaker's memories of childhood in a truly immersive and vivid manner. Read more

It’s as if Cuaron aims to convey that any random period in an individual’s life can be either usual or unusual, but undoubtedly not the heavily embellished fiction most often witnessed in customary moviemaking. This, of course, infrequently translates into entertainment. Read more

But no amount of beauty nor immersive reality make ups for a story that really sells the feature short. Read more

Zoals gezegd niet een film die ook iedereen zal kunnen waarderen, maar die voor de liefhebber een prachtig gemaakt stukje geschiedenis waar in de ingetogen stijl juist de kracht zit. Read more

Een nieuw meesterwerk van Cuarón en cinematografisch werkelijk om te kwijlen! Read more

Roma is prachtig in elkaar gezet. De film is volledig zwart/wit dat toch wel de beladen sfeer en het melodramatische karakter van het verhaal extra kracht bijzet. Maar Roma dankt het succes voor een groot deel aan het ijzersterke debuut van Yalitza Aparicio.

Het gaat traag en er gebeurt relatief weinig, maar toch blijf je kijken. Je bent begaan met de personages, en dan vooral met Cleo. Een visueel verbluffende ode aan een gewone vrouw! Read more

Gedurende 1 uur en 30 minuten hypnotiseerde de prachtige cinematografie van Roma ons, tot de regisseur ons voor de laatste 45 minuten met een knuppel wakker schudde! De 2 meesterlijke (harde maar ook tedere) scènes aan het einde van Roma kwamen zo kort op elkaar dat het onze emoties langs alle kanten deed opkomen. Read more
