Roma - Reviews

En helt egen berättelse om systerskap och moderskap som gör mig genomlycklig.

En mer rörande hyllning till en fortfarande levande person, hushållerskan som brydde sig mer om andra än sig själv, har väl sällan skådats.

Glenn Close gives a wonderfully enigmatic performance...

...thrilling, engrossing, moving – and just entirely amazing, an adjectival pileup of wonder.

Swedish director Björn Runge’s approach is no-nonsense and workmanlike, perhaps to give these esteemed actors room to swagger and shine...

Glenn Close is as memorable here as she’s ever been.

...feels like a celebration of what it means to feel alive.

...a bravura evocation of time and place...

Close gives a performance that demands the Oscar voters consider her for a seventh time...

...an exceptionally moving story,

The film is a poetic, crystalline visual glory, demonstrating Cuaron's graceful, effortless, yet complete command over light, space, and rhythm.

For a black-and-white film with such an unsparing, unsentimental approach, this romance manages to feel lush, passionate, and stark all at once.

Alfonso Cuarón's sweeping, heart-quickening period piece is the film of the year.

Alfonso Cuaro`n’s monumental love poem to Mexico and the woman who made him a man.

Glenn Close gör en av sina bästa roller. Björn Runges välgjorda film har gott om duktiga skådespelare som skapar en stark intensitet.
