I watched Roma last week. I thought it was one of the best of the year and would really only have been happy with it or The Favourite winning. I believe if another studio release it it would have won.
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.
Roma was without question one of the most painful viewing experiences I've ever had. Despite the attempts to frame it as a story about motherhood and the bond between two women, it came off of as more of a hollow, masturbatory "look at me, I'm an important filmmaker" exercise for Cuaron.

As someone who loves arthouse cinema, I actually agree more with Tranny's thoughts than the majority of critics.

This is quite possibly the greatest complement I've ever received
I consider myself more of a cult film weirdo than an arthouse aficionado, but I also thought Roma was as dull as the dishwater used to mop the floor for 20 minutes in the opening credits.
