Like Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men, Cuarón's depth and attention to detail is outstanding. The grayscale makes you appreciate the choice of patterns and shades which enrich each shot. Cuarón has again written awesome and empowering female leads which emphasises how often Hollywood still fails to pass the Bechdel Test on numerous occasions. A film definitely for the enjoyment of its beauty and less on plot, however the final half-hour is incredibly gripping and moved me to the verge of tears.
