David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle Soldini brings us vivid characters, and gets all the details right, from the humdrum rhythms of marriage to the unglamorous milieu of working-class Milan. Rated: 3/4 Feb 10, 2011 Full Review Glenn Heath Jr. Slant Magazine Come Undone collapses the faade of emotional connection by highlighting the small erosive moments of deception rather than grandiose melodramatic tirades. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 18, 2010 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times If the movie tells an old story, its unvarnished realism lends it poignancy and depth. Rated: 3/5 Dec 3, 2010 Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International Mild but absorbing drama about infidelity, passion and deception among some everyday middle-class types in Milan is short on insight but benefits from involving characters, an enveloping urban milieu and inevitable consequences. Dec 3, 2010 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A sensitive anatomy of a sexual affair by Silvio Soldini, one of Italy's most gifted directors.

Alain E An alternative title could be Anatomy of an infidelity. Two married lower middle class Italians start an affair. The source of the mutual attraction is unclear: the man is definitely hotter than the obese husband of the woman, but she is not more attractive than the wife of the man. They try to break up, then they reunite. In the last scene the woman decides to end the relationship, but given what we witnessed over the last two hours , two weeks later she could be texting him to arrange a next meeting. Acting is good and the sex scenes necessary to illustrate the story. Nice color cinematography. The ultimate point is that any person in a couple could stray? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, good acting, believable script, and very realistic. It covered some uncomfortable topics, and the timeline was difficult to follow, but it was really an interesting movie. If you're expecting an action flick, this isn't it, so don't watch it and give it average reviews, because it isn't an average movie, it's good. Believe the critics on this movie, and not the public. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The pacing accurately mirrored married life, but the tedium went on too long. The movie gave us no reason to like either of the main characters, and we're left wishing their spouses had chosen better. Perhaps it was a lack of on-screen chemistry, but I found nothing exciting about the sex; indeed, because the characters were so unlikable, it just kind of grossed me out. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member good indie rel drama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Sexy & sad with a predictable ending. I also couldn't bring myself to care about the main characters. Cheaters deserve what they get. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Silvio Soldini...where are more of your movies so that I may watch them? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
