Roma's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
Cuarón has done more than break through walls of language, culture and class to craft the best movie of the year. No matter how you see or stream 'Roma', this game-changer is making its own kind of history.
Empire
It?s not hyperbolic to rate it among the most beautiful photography ever committed to screen.
Vanity Fair
A film full of dazzingly inticrate visual poetry.
Vulture
It?s an overstimulating visual feast, Christmas lights and fireworks and dogs and children running around the frame, that ends in almost biblical catastrophe.
ABC
There is a lot of filmmaking on 'Roma', simple, minimalist and personal, but it is also very big, showing earthquakes and revolutions, both social and personal. And this movie gets under your skin, not through aggressiveness but with a soft touch.
The Guardian
'Roma' is his [Cuaron's] best film so far: a thrilling, engrossing and moving picture with a richly personal story to tell, beautifully and dynamically shot in pellucid black and white.
The Hollywood Reporter
'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.
El Mundo
'Roma' is a film as cruel as brilliant and evocative, with great symbolic power.
La Razón
It is undoubtable that this is his most personal film (Cuarón is the director, writer, camera operator and editor). The best move on this great and monumental movie is its protagonist, Cloe.
Fotogramas
A vibrant inmersion as well as a distanced look into the reality of Mexico from 1970 to 1971.
El País
I have just watched 'Roma' on the big sreen, with a quality sound, on the darkness, on the ancestral scenario. An I am leaving the theatre moved.
Entertainment Weekly
Experiencing the lovely and lyrical 'Roma', you get the impression that at age 56, Cuarón not only wanted to get these still-vivid memories down on film, but that he also needed to.
