...streaming on Netflix from Alphonso Couron.

In most top 10 lists and some regard it as the best film of the year.

It is indeed a special film if you have the patience for Couron's indulgence into the design, look and feel of the film.

And it is like you are there seeing this world through the eyes of the housekeeper/nanny. There are many memorable scenes that will reosnate with you afterward.

Top 10 - yes. Best film - maybe.

From the review:
"It's a black-and-white film with non-actors in Mexico City in the '70s," Bird said. "But when you see the film, it has an epic feeling that's unlike anything. It's like being in the spot. It's an experiential film, it's like you are there."

Much of that stemmed from Cuar�n's exacting production process: He took 108 days to shoot, in chronological order. He did did not share the script, parceling out information on a must-know basis, all of which was a challenge for his crew as well as his actors."
