Roger Moore

Tribune News Service

Thin on laughs and light on life lessons, it is as edgy and "out there" as its title.

Rated: 2/4

Stephen Romei

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]

Louisa Moore

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.
