Alfonso Cuaron reaches a level of movie making prestige with this movie. The black and white is so expertly done and each long shot with no cuts slowly immerse you more and more into this beautiful world as the story of the young maid grows on you without you realizing it. While some people may find the pacing a bit slow for their liking, the realness and cinematography skill is plenty to make up for this small issue which I didn’t find myself having a problem with. It’s worth a watch even if you can’t appreciate the slowish story just to experience a movie that has never been done like this before and will most likely never be replicated.
