A renowned Italian filmmaker faces many struggles while shooting a movie about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

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.

Christina Newland

IndieWire

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.

David Rooney

The 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.

Moretti decides to approach the topic of autobiographical fiction reminiscent of scenes from "Caro Diario". However, in some parts, the script loosens, which is somewhat metaphorical if we relate it to the film's theme. [Full review in Spanish]

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
