Roma has the feel of an NYU Film school project rather then something worthy of an Academy Award. Yes, all the right colors are on the wall but there isn’t much to look at. For it’s artistic with symbolic images all over the place that one can think about over time yet during the screening one wonders why? Many a scene goes know-where and an ending that says “is that it”? NYU would be proud I’m just not sure the Academy should feel the same way.
***- An extra star was given for it’s artistic imagery.
