“Cuarón always utilizes the longest, most visually extravagant route into even the simplest of scenes, and after a while the self-conscious virtuosity becomes overbearing. It feels a bit like taking an aircraft carrier to go around the corner to CVS. Eventually I found myself longing for a boring old two-shot where people just talk to each other.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 12/06/2018
