Alfonso Cuarón's Roma was a huge watershed for Netflix. The black-and-white film was celebrated across the globe, earning Netflix awards and Oscars out the wazoo, and even making the leap to physical media by being chosen as part of the esteemed Criterion Collection. Now, one of the Criterion bonus features has made its way back to Netflix: A documentary, more than an hour in length, called Road to Roma, is now streaming on the service.

There's a lot to unpack with this recent Netflix documentary.

The Criterion Collection is adding to its library in February of 2020, and among its selections is Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, a Netflix release. It will be the first Netflix movie in Criterion, whose focus has always been to license and champion classic and contemporary films it deems important. This recognition is quite the achievement for Netflix, further legitimizing it as a company committed to producing quality material. Premiering on the streaming service in 2018, Roma would be nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Actress for Yalitza Aparicio. It won Best Foreign Language …

Alfonso Cuarón's triple Oscar-winning Roma has reached a new milestone by becoming the first Netflix film to be given the Criterion treatment.

One of the best films I saw at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Scott Z. Burns’ The Report. Led by an Oscar-worthy performance from Adam Driver, the film spans almost a decade as one intrepid congressional investigator tries to get to the bottom of the Bush Administration’s torture program. It’s riveting stuff that could be a serious contender in this year’s Oscar race if Amazon Studios, who picked up the film, plays its cards right. According to Deadline, Amazon hopes to replicate the success Netflix had last year with Roma by giving The Report …

Netflix now has the MPAA clout and Oscars to prove that it’s a genuine Hollywood movie studio.

Sunday's Oscar ceremony was a big night for Netflix, but not everybody is happy about that.

One seen made the new Oscar nominee incredibly nervous.

The EE British Academy Film Awards—or the BAFTAs—were held this weekend, and our Best Picture Oscar frontrunner was pretty much solidified. Alfonso Cuaron’s masterful Netflix drama Roma took home four awards in total: Best Picture, Director, Film Not in the English Language, and Cinematography. Seven of the last 10 Best Film BAFTA winners have gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars, and the success of Roma could very well signal a very good night for the film at the Academy Awards. The Favourite, unsurprisingly, took home the most awards of the night with seven in …

The competition for the Outstanding Cinematography statue at the 2019 Academy Awards is painted in black and white this year, as Alfonso Cuaron's Roma and Paweł Pawlikowski's Cold War duke it out. The latter notched a bit of momentum last night, as cinematographer Łukasz Żal took home the Theatrical Award from the American Society of Cinematographers. It's certainly an intriguing development—Cuarón, who acted as his own DP on Roma, seems to be the frontrunner so this is something of an upset—it's worth noting that since 2000, the top ASC prize and the Oscars …

Last Updated: January 30th Well the Oscar nominations have been announced, and the Best Picture race has hit its final stage. After a number of ups and downs, we have our final eight contenders. There are still four weeks to go—and a lot can happen in that time—but for now quite a bit has been illuminated, and it appears we're down to two frontrunners to take home the main prize. The first is Green Book, a film that pretty much wasn't on anyone's radar until it won the People's Choice Award at TIFF—which …

Jorge Antonio Guerrero isn’t giving up hope.

Many movie theaters make a point to screen all the Best Picture nominees before the Academy Awards ceremony, but one film is being left off the schedule at a major theater chain.

The Oscar nominations are here at last. It’s been a whirlwind of an awards season packed with plenty of drama and controversy after controversy. It has also been one of the most unpredictable seasons in recent memory, with the field wide open in a number of categories. Roma and The Favourite picked up the most nominations of any film with 10 nods each, including Best Picture and Best Director for both. Roma particularly came on strong, pulling nominations in Best Actress and Supporting Actress over more "famous" contenders like Emily Blunt and Claire Foy, respectively. This is a huge …
