I am very upset that this movie is in the running for any kind of awards. For the average person, it is painful to watch. I believe it has been nominated just because people in Hollywood want to see themselves as the “true” critics who realize the worth of things that the common man cannot see. Why else would they select a movie that looks like it was made by a group of teenagers. If this movie wins, I will never watch the Academy Awards again. I can understand why all of the other movies were nominated. But, Roma is one hot mess. The plot has been done a million times. There is no originality here. The acting is bad. I cannot comment on the dialog. When you have subtitles it is hard to convey emotion. I am going to be grinding my teeth through this whole awards production. I do not see how a movie that is nominated for Best Foreign Film can also be nominated for Best Film. If Roma gets both of these awards, the people who voted for it should be prohibited from voting. next year.
