Roma (2018)
Beautiful but slow and tedious
Firstly the photography is beautiful, love the locations, the textures and the feeling behind them. The sound is magical too, beeping horns, birds, dogs barking, it felt like I lived there for a little while.
However the story was slow, it had its moments of drama interspersed with long long scenes. The ending felt quite rushed compared to the first parts and I was a little confused about Cleo's status in the family, sometimes belittled sometimes treated like a family member - maybe that's how maids are treated?
It's different, it's enjoyable, it's not the worst 'critically acclaimed' movie but if you enjoy action, pace, romance and mainstream movies this probably isn't for you :)
Solomon and Gaenor (1999)
An Emotional Experience
A great movie, certainly worthy of greater than late night/ early morning slot. Characters well played, the mix of languages worked well. Another great story illustrating that love knows no boundaries yet life is fragile.
