Roma (2018)
Yeah this is one of those movies for critics. I guess it looks nice. Very little happens and it takes its time not happening. There is a bunch of irrelevant side-stuff. It seems at times like it might be saying something about class stratification, but in the end I find no coherent statement.
I hate to be negative because there is a sweetness to some of the characters - but for me, it's just tedious. It could hardly be lower on the rewatchability continuum.
Reminds me in a way of last year's acclaimed movie Lady Bird. I know it's about the writer-director's own experiences from earlier life, and I'm sure it was meaningful to him/her to explore them but for me, I'm sorry, not everything has to be a movie. There's no movie here.
3.7 out of 10
