The Australian

There are some Hallmark moments, and an overuse of the Italian song Funiculi, Funicula, but the performances are strong and deep down this movie is about something that matters. Plus the scenery in Puglia is beautiful.

Rated: 3/5

Cris Kennedy

The Canberra Times (Australia)

There are a few scenes of delightful high jinx that audiences will love, and other attempts at comedy that feel forced...

Rated: 2/5

EscribiendoCine

The film starts out focused on the conflict and setting up the adventure to Italy, then it simmers interestingly into an enjoyable narrative as the drama and the comedy are mixed in. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Paula Vázquez Prieto

La Nación (Argentina)

Doesn't dress up aging with false colors, doesn't hide the fear and pathos, and finds genuine emotion in friendship ties. [Full review in Spanish]

Screen Zealots

The cast has a wonderful rapport, and it feels good to see a film featuring women over 70 who are portrayed as living their best lives. It's inspiring, actually.

Orca Sound

Besides all the laughs here another strong point of the film was the fact that Topsoe-Rothenburg does not succumb to stereotypes about older people.

Rated: 3/5

Dealing with aging means learning to revive your creativity at the right level for you at this time in your life.

This is good news in terms of safety, but it may lead to a cleaner, less spontaneous street food experience in the long term, especially with regards to street vendors in Southeast Asia. As someone who has visited such markets in Singapore, I find that the standard of food is undeniably excellent, although the atmosphere certainly doesn't compare to the experience of eating street food outdoors.

The dramatic elements outweigh the comedic, but the actresses give it their all and the food looks delectable.
