The ambiguous ending of this powerful portrait of family and assimilation in 1980s America is doubtlessly the highlight of a convincing movie, though not particularly original in some choices of the treated subject.
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
Sixteen nominations and seven wins at the David di Donatello awards, feature debut of the talented director Gabriele Mainetti, this pretty chaotic movie is pleasant and full of nice, funny quotes. The cast is extraordinary, especially Pastorelli and Marinelli. Mark: 7.5 / 10
I have to admit that, being a huge fan of the screenwriter and director Emerald Fennell, my expectations for her third instalment were pretty high: this is probably one of the reasons why I didn't appreciate this (very loose) adaptation. A shoutout just for the music. The rest is out of place. Mark: 5.5 / 10
