RE: Any Film Snobs Out There? Let's Start a Conversation About Arthouse, Indie film, Classical Movies and Documentaries
Can anyone say “Roma?” I liked it but not like what everyone else is.

It was good @riverflows especially the cinematography ... the story/plot is good but I think it is the “feeling” the film evokes with the way it was filmed that really takes you into the world of Roma.... a rich mexican neighborhood surrounded by poverty

Sounds good.
I like films that evoke loads of feeling. In the end, I 'feel' ( and also felt as a filmmaker ) that that is one of the most important things: to touch the audience and - preferably - not in the opposite way that you had in mind :>)
I think a scene in “Roma” where we meet the father of the story but never “see” him is a perfect example of the director using the lens to convey meaning and feeling rather than using words And actors.

Sounds intriguing. Thanks for going a little deeper into this :>)
@streetstyle I guess you're referring to the series on the Romans from the mid 2000s and not to Fellini's 1970s movie? Or, wait, I see there's a 2018 film with this title. Didn't know anything about it. If you refer to the latter, directed by Alfonso Cuaron and nominated for 10 Oscars: It sure seems interesting/ like a good movie but kind of the opposite of the kind of films that I point to in this post :>)
Snob! He he he he he xxx
