- TriviaThe lengthy delivery scene in the hospital was only shot once. The doctors and nurses were real, not actors, hired to make the scene feel more authentic.

- Crazy creditsThe closing credits end with "Shantih Shantih Shantih," the conclusion to every mantra in the Upanishads, a collection of 108 Hindu scriptures. "Shantih" was referenced several times in Alfonso Cuarón's earlier film, Những Đứa Trẻ Thời Chiến (2006).

Featured review
Roma is primarily a story of a maid Cleo and her influence on the people with whom her paths meet primarily in her profession as a maid to a wealthy family. Roma is just not about Cleo but also about the very delicate and minute aspects about our lives which the director has portrayed brilliantly through his cinematography and genius camera work . The shots are slow , the frames are very detailed and unparalleledly realistic . In some sense Roma also intends to show the plight of the women in Mexico of 1969-70 , which is even relavent today but that's not the objective of Roma . Roma is about showing an extremely normal setting in an extremely detailed and flawless way. If you are a person interested in thrill ,action , pace and suspense , then Roma will disappoint you. Else , go for it .
