Review of Roma (2018) by Vesperizer — 24 Feb 2019

I wanted to like "Roma", I really did. But, ultimately, the plot is predominately uneventful and, ultimately, not incredibly entertaining. As a fan of realism in film, perhaps "Roma" was a just a little TOO real for my tastes.

I found myself looking at the clock throughout the film as elongated scenes of washing clothing or characters ruminating and contemplating life dragged on throughout this already-lengthy film. Presumably incredibly personal and meaningful for the director of this autobiographical film, the story, to me, was underwhelming and blasé.
