I'm sure there's a great movie to be made about Cleo's life, from her perspective and showing us more of the underbelly of Mexican society at the time. My - admittedly half-assed argument - is that Cuarón might have not had that movie in mind, and analyzing the film as "Cuarón screwed up by not making the film I wanted to see" misses that point.
I wish I had seen way more about the ship that comes and picks up the baby and her mother at the end of Children of Men... but the movie wasn't about them.
- js2 8y agoThanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. In retrospect I didn’t think much of Children of Men or Gravity either, and I can’t even remember what I thought of Y Tu Mamá También, so it apparently didn’t leave much impression on me. Maybe he’s just not my cup of tea. My upset with Roma was given how critically acclaimed it is, I was expecting a lot more. I appreciate your perspective but I still don’t think the film is worthy of the praise it’s been given. I went and read a ton of reviews after to try to understand what I might be missing and I just ended up getting more and more annoyed. Oh well.
