It's a pretty movie - handsome actors, appealing scenery, fun music. Of course, it has the easy-to-follow story, a little unrealistic and made to please, that usually goes with pretty movies. And as such, it's a good one. Forget the fact that quite a few of the actors are actually not Roma, the minor inaccuracies, and the hugely failed cgi sequence which is kinda laughable and you'd do well to fast-forward through it. For what it is, it's a pleasant movie to watch.
The low rating can be attributed to three things - some of the material is a little grating for audiences in the countries which produced the movie; the cgi is really bad; and most reviewers from the basic target audiences tend to be extremely snobbish when it comes to movies, denigrating anything that does not aspire to be "high culture". Rapos's movies often fail to meet that standard, but when you take them for what they are, they are thoroughly entertaining and definitely not deserving of such low numbers.
Worth watching. You could waste your time in lot worse ways.
