Critics' reviews

"[It] achieves the rare feat of making the personal authentically political, not through explicit polemic or tortured metaphors, but simply by observing life with enough perspective to reflect it in all its contradictions (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
"It's an expansive, emotional portrait of life buffeted by violent forces, and a masterpiece."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Cuarón has done more than break through walls of language, culture and class to craft the best movie of the year (...) This game-changer is making its own kind of history (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"One of the best movies I've ever seen, and one of the most moving."

Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal
"Cuarón has composed some of the most stunning shots and sequences in film history, and it would be a sin not to see this on the big screen"

Yolanda Machado: USA Today
"You get the feeling that every image — every emotion — is perfectly set in place (...) 'Roma' is no mere movie — it’s a 'vision' (...) 'Roma' has many indelible moments"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Blessed with an exceptionally acute sensitivity to the things of life, 'Roma' is a memory film of unusual beauty that pushes to the foreground what is commonly left in the background"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
