Recommandations
- 80
Village Voice
Pitch-perfect performances and a light-handed but razor-sharp script keep this satire brisk and biting. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
Despite outward appearances, Paolo Virzi's utterly charming fable is actually a razor-sharp political satire. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Smart, sassy, compassionate and critical. - 75
New York Post
A fluffy and fun coming-of-age-in-Rome comedy, with a sparkling turn by its 16-year-old star, Alice Teghil. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
This dramatic comedy is an Italian style "Mean Girls" when Castellito isn't stealing the show as a dysfunctional dad. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
A charming and wise film. - 70
The New York Times
Its rich, wide-angle view of Italian politics and society stays with you. The details may vary from nation to nation in the industrialized West, but the big picture is pretty much the same everywhere. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Ultimately neither funny nor touching enough to make much of an impact, but it does offer many small, insightful moments along the way.
