What to Know

Critics Consensus

A powerful character study, A Ciambra burns slowly, letting its compelling cast carry what could otherwise be just another coming-of-age story.

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader This is a vibrant if familiar art-house drama, with rough-and-tumble camerawork, highly physical performances, and fly-on-the-wall observations that recall the films of Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne. Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Tim Curtin's handheld camerawork and Dan Romer's score are restless and energetic. Pio Amato, who is in almost every frame, makes for a charismatic lead. He is likable enough for the viewer to overlook his low-level lawlessness. Rated: 4/5 Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) A fascinating and considered study of outsider tensions, though a third-act turn that forces Pio to pick a side hammers the point home a little too hard. Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2018 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch A gritty coming-of-age drama that doubles as an authentic immersion into an Italian-Roma family. Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming The Ciambra is a powerful coming-of-age story that ventures where rarely any other films dare to go. Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review We are never really invited into Pio's experience, instead kept at arm's length from the world he inhabits.That world is multifaceted and its our view from above as he navigates moving between them that keeps A Ciambra such an interesting watch.

Audience Member Euphoric neorealist film. Just continually draws you in to it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/05/19 Full Review Audience Member An extraordinary experience. It was recommended to me by a friend who had already watched it twice. It is a film about how things were, how they are now, what is important, and how to survive as a family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review andy p so, it's a real family - who cares? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Dark, boring, confusing dialogs, no logical sequence of events, I felt no connection to the characters whatsoever. If you're a fan of art films and foreign movies you might like it. I could have saved the 2 hours I spent watching this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Tava indo bem, mas se perdeu dando voltas e voltas...hehehe. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review nefasto r Una storia infelice, non facile da guardare per differenti ragioni. Il tocco artistico, e la malinconia di una realtá mostrata senza peli sulla lingua rendono il film interessante e guardabile, ma come ho detto non è facile arrivare fino alla fine. Lungo e con poca storia. Ho peró apprezzato il fatto di non prendere posizioni. Il regista ti mostra la realtá, e stá a chi guarda prendere una posizione, nel bene e nel male. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
