Beautiful. This is the kind of film that sucks me in and brings me to tears. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. It is a quiet film that tells a story through visuals and actions, very few words. The topics that are addressed are so important--especially today--but little is shoved in your face. I think, for me, subtlety sticks and can be more powerful than shock. I'm very pleased that Roma was nominated for so many Academy Awards. Alfonso Cuaron has created a masterpiece of art.
