20 Most Critically Adored Films 2018 (According To Rotten Tomatoes)

15. Roma

Spider Man Paddington
Netflix

Rating: 98%

This critically-acclaimed and heavily tipped Mexican drama from Alfonso Cuaron is yet more evidence that he doesn't make bad movies. He doesn't even make mediocre ones.

It's a fairly simple, 1970s family drama on paper in which not a great deal seems to happen. But the pleasure is in the story-telling and the characters and how gentle and wise and personal it all feels.

Sample Review:

"It is the clarity of CuarĂ³n's eye, and the sea-like sway of his remembrance, that compel you to trust the tale he tells." - New Yorker
