  Feel-good with a bite
  
  This is a beautifully made little film, with sympathetic acting and plotting. Some bits of it are also rather moving, often in quite routine situations. It ... read more »

  Beautifully shot, fine acting by Moretti and even more by Blu di Martino playing his daughter. I loved the background scenes in the park and in the daughter'... read more »

  The worst Italian film I've seen
  
  This is dreadful. Pretentious (in that it doesn't achieve the level of emotional engagement it aspires to), repetitious and dull, this is the worst Italian ... read more »

  Pleasant film...happy to recommend
  
  I enjoyed this film very much. It shows the acceptance of a tragedy in a fresh and uplifting way through the eyes of a daughter and a father.

  Squaring the circle
  
  This is a very well constructed and performed film. Touching and insightful and beautifully filmed. Nanni Moretti is convincing as he is brave and confusing. ... read more »

  Maybe a good book, but not a great film
  
  I believe that this film is based on a book and, if so, I think the book must have had a lot of introspection by the main character (the bereaved husband) that ... read more »
