Hope you feel better, Julie!! Allergies have been kicking my rear all week. That movie is on my watch list too.

Watched the movie this morning - the only Oscar best picture nominee I haven't seen yet is Vice. (Roma and A Star is Born are my favourites so far).

How was it? I was about to rent that but felt too tired. I loved Roma and was just kind of whatever about A Star/Boh Rap.

It was OK for what it was. But I felt that the themes and messages were things we've all seen before. There wasn't a lot of subtlety in it either. Whereas I thought the beauty of Roma was how much it said, and how much nuance it portrayed with a very sparse story and what felt like sparse visuals (because of the black and white).

Exactly my thoughts Julie on Roma - and why I was bored with Star/Boh Rap ... I've seen these stories so many times before. It didn't feel new (I know Star is a remake - but even without that ... that story seems to be a popular theme in US movie culture. It's played.) The cinematography drew me in for Roma.
