Roma is good.
It is a more intimate sort of “Upstairs, Downstairs”, but in a very different culture.

It is also entirely accurate in its depiction. I grew up in exactly this situation (other than the infidelity, etc., unlike this movie, we had a very happy childhood), but in the Philippines, not Latin America. But still, it all applies.

It is how it is, we had our Cleo, indeed, she still serves my mother as her housekeeper. And everyone I knew had his or her Cleo.

An unusual, rare take on a very common situation, the world over.

And there isnt a hint of the snowflake or the neurotic in this thing.

Yes but why? Why did they keep on trying to park that Galaxy in that garage?

All in all, it was a good movie.
