However, that doesn't mean that it can't be #2, which it currently is with admittedly much more of the year still ahead of us. The technical achievements of this film are so grand that they almost overrule all shortcomings, of which there are not many. I mean thus is certainly no Avatar, where the story is disappointing enough to knock the technical achievements down a few pegs. And those achievements are just as ground-breaking if not (dare I say?) even more so.

This review sort of reads weird, I think, because honestly I just used it as an opportunity to try to work out as a whole the way I felt about the film because it's really lingered with me. That minimalism is its greatest strength and why I kind of wish Cuaron went even further with it in regards to the theme he was trying to convey.<br /> <br />Lexi: Thank you! I don't know that this idea was precisely what the film was intending, but it's what I took away.
