“Mesmerizing Mexico City”
not
for all.
indulgent,
meretricious,
drawn out and plotless-
can seem dull and tedious.
skilled cinematography,
but gratuitous black and white;
pretentious social commentary-
but if you want art- you’re in for a treat!
¡Sí!
Cuarón’s
love letter-
it’s his story,
but it’s also not.
feels like we’re eavesdropping.
great restraint and eloquence,
choreographed storytelling.
immersive dreamlike experience
of an intimate domesticity.
