Review of Roma

Roma (2018)
5/10
Cuaron plays a Spielberg game with Not-So-Great Expectations
28 December 2021
One cannot argument the fact that Alfonso Cuaron today, by the 2nd decade of the twenty hundreds is the sole Spielbergen moviemaker.

First thing first; the failure in compass of cinematography: If the film is set in B&W monochrome ; then you cannot go fantastic with hilarious camera movements. Actors in Roma are playing a stage game which director is not involved in supervising it.

Cubic Art is not a game. You do not follow the best examples in film history like Federico Fellini and Steven Spielberg to go artsy; otherwise then it turns out shallow and ungenuine.

Black&White cinema 🎥 is not a MINIMALIST movement. Making a low budget film cannot get you the IMPRESSIONIST and CUBIC Art quality you failed to achieve.

Art films must be global/universal: SCHiNDLER'S LiST had an universal theme and message concerning all humans; not only Polish Jews.

Yet, Roma is done in Low Expectations. Political revolts of 1970s are established unbiased. A housemaid's life p.o.v. Cannot be engineered and edited in this fancy artistic style and it has gotta be in Color.
