one month passes...

Finally saw this, thought it was good, looked good, etc. A lot of the complaints I missed at the time but have since skimmed (in this thread and elsewhere) seem to channel disappointment that Cuaron is not the Dardenne brothers. But while I do find the discussion of what the film is not to be sometimes educational and some of the criticisms particularly valid - it's for sure indulgent, and definitely thematically diffuse - I didn't think anything in the film was objectionable enough to evoke the utter disdain I saw from some of the more hardcore detractors.

Speaking of which, Soto. I liked what you wrote, but if you're listening, your review way back when references a brief moment of color. Did I miss it?
