Netflix movie Roma nominated for Oscar
February 25, 2019
An Oscar nominated Netflix movie, “Roma,” was released in 2018. The movie was written by Alfonso Cuarón as a semi-autobiography. This movie is based in the 70’s and begins with a troubled women named Cleo working for a wealthy family.
Everything in Cleo’s life changes once she has an affair with a boy that results in a pregnancy. The father, named “Roma,” stays for the majority of Cleo’s pregnancy. Yalitza Aparicio plays Cleo.
As Cleo is in the middle of her pregnancy, she begins to work to support a family that is beginning to fall apart. Cleo begins to worry about her upcoming birth of her baby, but Roma keeps her company in these tough months.
This movie was filmed in black and white but definitely showed high quality. The soundtrack inside this movie is also very fitting for every scene.
I would definitely recommend this movie for adults and teen viewers because Roma shows many different aspects of life that we see in today’s society.
The movie also stars Marina de Tavira, Diego Cortina Autrey, and Carlos Peralta.
