Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter Quite original, highly improbable and curiously cool. Jul 26, 2016 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety Even if Tornatore were deliberately aiming for the artificiality that clings to nearly every frame, the pic would still feel needlessly airless, hampered by an Italian-to-English script translation that may be precise but lacks naturalism. Jul 26, 2016 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film La Corrispondenza’s plot could be seen as either ludicrous or touching, but the fact remains that the film runs out of ideas soon after it starts. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Hugo Hernández Valdivia Cinexcepción ... suspicions are confirmed and all mystery disappears. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo An absurd film from a director that seems to be in a rut. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 1, 2016 Full Review Alberto Acuña Cinema Movil It never quite finds the type of movie it wants to be. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Per distacco il film peggiore di Giuseppe Tornatore; un concentrato di errori e tentativi mal riusciti. La love story è pessima, costruita in modo dozzinale e con una coppia di attori male assortita, specialmente per la poca abitudine e dimestichezza di Jeremy Irons in questo tipo di ruolo. Una volta scomparso l'attore maschile, si concentra l'attenzione sul personaggio della Kurylenko, totalmente problematico e con conflitti interiori imbarazzanti, poco funzionali e con una serie di comportamenti che sfiorano l'assurdo (in negativo). Per completare la frittata ci si mettono anche degli effetti grafici pessimi e una totale assenza di supporting cast; Olga viene lasciata da sola sulla barca che il suo personaggio sta facendo affondare. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Although the cinematic suggestions Tornatore indulges in are not as effective as they turned out in previous works, the high-quality screenplay balances out all the odd directorial choices. The Correspondence is too well-written not to be worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why so many people think that this is a bad film. Yes, it's got some flaws, but the plot in general is something new than the usual love story. This couple, that many people would think is wrong (for the age difference), is about to face the strongest and the most difficult obstacle that could ever happen to their relationship; and even if sometimes it looks unrealistic and even creepy, that doesn't make it a bad film. Both actors do a great job and Tornatore (accompained by Morricone's soundtrack) gives the film a tone of melancholy and nostalgia that focuses more on the "AFTER" than to the "BEFORE" of their relationship. And THAT has to be praised. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member wonderful story, wonderful actors. One unforgettable movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This piece of visual poetic endearing creativity is what is missing on the American screen. It is evident this is why European film will always have what Hollywood does not. Pure beauty. It's sad that the judges have succumbed to the American epidemic, having acquired tunnel vision and short attention span. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring depressing movie n seems long. Good cast but I wouldn't recommend watching it!
