Mr. Mastroianni, that icon of the Italian cinema, is less bad than dim.

The story of Matteo's quest is simply told, but within it Tornatore creates an affecting vision of societal change and a web of complex emotions and connections among his characters.

Rich with meaning, this warmly acted and crafted film tells us that we can't live without lying to ourselves a little bit, especially if we must outlive our dreams.

[Giuseppe Tornatore]'s new film is very long and suffers from serious structural issues. [Full review in Spanish]

I had great hopes that the film was going to develop into a thriller, but it was not to be.

I appreciated Mastroianni's performance, but overall the movie was boring.

Tornatore is certainly a master film-maker. Mastroianni is an excellent film performer. Together they provide what is a triumph not only for Italian cinema but for film as an art form.

Storytelling at its very finest, "Stanno Tutti Bene" is a masterpiece of writing and acting and will leave you with that kind of bitter taste that only italian dramatic movies are able to give.

So intense, so dramatic, so touching. Tornatore definitely knows hot to touch the right chords of the viewer.

Un ritratto melanconico di un'Italia fatta di apparenze e situazioni familiari in disgregazione. Molto appassionante e di impatto il finale con Mastroianni che dorme in stazione e rivede i propri figli da bambini che gli raccontano la verità.
