    Heartfelt, rewarding movie

    Based around a true story, this touching tale of two girls orphaned during World War II and sent to live with their aunt and uncle in the glorious Italian countryside, is a rewarding movie in more ways than one.

    Aside from the gorgeous photography, the first-class performances, and the affecting screenplay, there is often note-perfect direction and a genuine feel for the period and the children's experiences. Even though the film moves into darker territory in its last third - by necessity - it never loses its way.

    The film deserves a wider audience, and if this review helps bring people to it, then I'll be happy. Recommended unreservedly.

    War and family life

    A faithful document of family life during World War II. Good setting. Good and spontaneous acting, especially the children.
