Predictable as it may be, you'll hear nothing but approval from me when a critics group goes all in for Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, as the Chicago Film Critics Association did last night. And you'll hear more still given that they found room for awards for actors such as Toni Collette and Ethan Hawke, and surprise choices such as Annihilation in Best Use of Visual Effects.
