Overpromoted to a disgusting degree

No masterpiece needs a campaign that costs 30 million to win best picture....

Trivia
Many were mystified by Alfonso Cuarón's decision to release this very cinematic film on Netflix. One of his primary reasons for doing this was because foreign language films do not usually get adequate distribution. By releasing it on Netflix, Alfonso Cuarón knew Roma (2018) would potentially play to its widest audience.

Goofs
Reflection of a few members of the crew is visible during dolly shot as Cleo walks to the movie theater with the family.

Quotes
Cleo: I like being dead.

Crazy credits
The closing credits end with "Shantih Shantih Shantih," the conclusion to every mantra in the Upanishads, a collection of 108 Hindu scriptures. "Shantih" was referenced several times in Alfonso Cuarón's earlier film, Children of Men (2006).
