The highs and lows of a restless youth collide headlong into the concrete realities of adulthood when Leonardo, a teenager from Palermo leaves home for the first time. His studies land him in Siena, by way of London, where he clashes with his instructor, the curriculum, and most chaotically, with himself. Produced by Luca Guadagnino, Diciannove (nineteen), marks the feature filmmaking debut of writer-director Giovanni Tortorici, a bold, brash and bemusing filmmaking talent.

Unfortunately, Tortorici’s story is not as exciting as his craft.

Variety

What makes it distinctive and unusually authentic within that subgenre is its avoidance of the neatly poignant growth arc that tends to lend such stories their spine.

IndieWire

[Eventually], Diciannove and its inscrutable protagonist finally snap into place. And while that particular “place” is much darker than this sly, slippery film initially lets on, it ultimately proves to be far more thrilling.

Rated: B+

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

A mildly engaging coming-of-age film that's just as meandering as its protagonist.

The Contending

Other than the many vista-captures, newcomer Manfredi Marini is in every scene of Giovanni Tortorici’s seductive, if sometimes too fragmented debut feature, Diciannove (Italian for Nineteen). And he proves to be a captivating presence onscreen.

Rated: B-

The debut film by Giovanni Tortorici, a spry filmmaker, has moxie. Tortorici takes risks.

Rated: 3/4
