The most personal project to date from Academy Award (R)-winning director and writer Alfonso CuarÃ³n (Gravity, Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien), Roma follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, CuarÃ³n draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil of the 1970s.

"Cuaron has made his most personal film to date, and the blend of the humane and the artistic within nearly every scene is breathtaking." - Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com - FULL REVIEW

CuarÃ³n has successfully captured a sense of time and place resulting in a film that is as gorgeous as it is poignant, making it a cinematic experience not to be missed.

Alfonso Cuaron's poignant, neo-realist masterpiece that's best viewed in theaters.

"Roma" had wrapped me in its spell that completely, it would be hard to imagine a more artful arthouse attraction.
