of ocean waves threatening to engulf children who have wandered out
too far. I can’t think when I have seen a film that conveys so much, yet
preserves a sense of mystery.
One of the things I loved about this film is that it offers glimpses of
Mexico at a level of complexity that we never see in the U.S. We’re
accustomed to stick-figure drawings of shadowy migrants and a law-
less society; Cuarón gives us a culture in which privilege tends to fol-
low whiteness; where a woman doctor outthinks her male colleagues;
where corruption is hidden in plain sight; where indigenous beauty
goes unrecognized. As a Mexican-American who has had to scrounge
my whole life for scraps of clues as to my own heritage, this film felt
like a cool drink of nutritious water.
The film also captures something profound about memory. Cuarón
sought to capture some of what was essentially true about his own
childhood, yet wisely focused less on plot details and more on frag-
ments of sound and touch and water and sun, recreating them with
contemplative care. From the perspective of middle age, he intuited
the importance of centering on the perspective of a central but mar-
ginalized person. And from those fragments of beauty and broken-
ness, Cuarón has assembled one of the most moving films I have ever
seen.
