Roma (Alfonso Cuarón, 2018, Mexico, 135 mins.). In 1970, Cleodegaria “Cleo” Gutiérrez is an indigenous live-in maid in a middle-class household in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. She and another maid, Adela, speak Mixtec when they are together, but Spanish in the presence of the family: matriarch Sofía; her husband, Antonio; her mother Teresa; and their four young children. When Antonio, a doctor, remains in Quebec after a conference, the problems in his and Sofia’s marriage become apparent.
