The National Film Board of Review has selected "Roma" (2018) as the best film of the year. No recognizable actors to an American audience, Spanish language subtitled and in black and white. Maybe with Netflix distributing it this will be seen by more people than usual. Except for an intense section near the end, this is what I term a movie set at the pace of life. That bores some people but it worked for me here. The cinematography was a big plus (by director Alfonso Cuarón), with some very long continuous takes adding to its effectiveness.
