A very good performance by the endlessly talented and Italian treasure Sophia Loren doesn't save this movie from being a pretty conventional and scholastic adaptation of the novel by Romain Gary.
"Exercise of style" is often a pretty abused expression to indicate a movie (or else) that is a sort of showoff of the director: in this case, unfortunately, it's totally appropriate. It's not a failure (Silvio Orlando's performance is monumental and the visual aspect is awesome), but Sorrentino's approach, in my opinion, has undertaken an insubstantial direction. Mark: 6.5 / 10
Spanning from the dawning to the publication of "Sex", it's in my opinion a very interesting documentary depicting the early years of the one and only queen of pop. Useless to say, a must see for every Madonna fan (like myself). Mark: 8 / 10
Pretentious. Overly theatrical. Unfocused. I'm not a fan of this (inexplicably praised) extremely long story about this (invented) Hungarian architect seeking for inner and professional recognition. And, frankly, both Brody and Jones have delivered better performances. Mark: 5.5 / 10
