Too insistently stylish, perhaps - one could argue that some sequences look as if they've been lifted from a car... read more on Time Out

The best film I have ever seen
When my boyfriend rented out this Film I was less than enthusiastic. Firstly, it was an Italian movie with subtitles. I don't speak Italien, and I hate reading subtitles. Secondly, I knew this was an artsy movie. Having only seen artsy movies over the recent weeks, I was craving for Hollywood. Dispite this, I watched It anyway, and within five minites of the film, I knew I had been totally wrong. This is a stunning movie. Toni Servillo was perfectly cast. It was arty, but unpretentiously. A must see. Paolo Sorrentino is a Genius!!

Highly recommended
I would say that this film should be in everyones top 5 dvds to rent. Its stylish, well acted, very modern, keeps you hooked till the end. I am tempted to give it 5 out of 5 as I doubt there are many better new releases out there at the moment but I will save that accolade just in case. Do not delay, watch this film.
