Critics Consensus

Moretti's 8½, A Brighter Tomorrow vibrantly presents a myriad of rose-tinted ideas celebrating the love of cinema that dip too far into nostalgia and self-indulgence.

Great movie representing what Italy and all left could have been with a bit more of courage. But not just this, it shows the drastical changes that can happen in a man under pressure , when he is honestly and brutally faced with his own mistakes. Great movie Nanni, one of your better movies.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

For every engaging character-driven moment or bit of warm humor, there’s unearned, even irritating quirkiness.

Rated: C+

Variety

“A Better Tomorrow” overflows with... ideas, which show a fresh engagement with the medium from the still-feisty director, now pushing 70.

Hollywood Reporter

The film’s wistful hope for the future of cinema and its healing power ends up being too self-satisfied to register as an expression of collective faith.

Once again, Nanni Moretti demonstrates his mastery of cinematic narrative, delivering a film that invites reflection and reevaluation of our constantly changing world. [Full review in Spanish]

La Jornada

With very pronounced ups and downs in its crazy and chaotic narrative, the film leaves in its title, A Brighter Tomorrow, the promise of a more even and satisfactory movie. [Full review in Spanish]

InSession Film

The film-within-a-film narrative, with Moretti playing an annoying version of himself, grows more dull and pretentious by the minute.
