My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

Cuaron, Roma.
Perfect, but boring movie. Yalitza Aparicio in the principal role is great. Yet, despite all critics' prognoses for it bagging the Big Oscar, it was given to inept, but politically correct "Greenbook."
Note: Obviously, Cuaron was traumatized by his father walking out from his family with a much younger mistress but himself repeated this exploit at least twice.
