      Vincent Canby New York Times [The Family] has the manner of a film that was conceived as an idea: a family chronicle that unfolds entirely within a single set, thus to call attention to the blood ties that bind. The characters and events were thought up later. Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Rita Kempley Washington Post Ettore Scola's The Family, an album with a velvet cover, is meant to touch the extended family of man. But like somebody else's home movies, after a while it simply wears thin. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review El Pais Staff El Pais (Spain) La Famiglia is a vital work from a living icon, the Italian Ettore Scola. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Molly Haskell Vogue Though the subject matter here isn't particularly new or surprising, never has any filmmaker captured more eloquently the love and fury that coexist within every family.

      Audience Member Intense and intelligent comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The art shown here is not for this timeless Italian epic about three generations, but the 1970's Bronson actioner.
