Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

This intimate observational documentary explores poverty in Sicily from two different vantage points, drawing poetic connections between lives that don't appear to touch.

Rated: 4/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

A very physical movie about poverty and loneliness, about people whose bodies are perhaps all they have.

Rated: 4/5

Wendy Ide

Financial Times

A lovely, lyrical fly-on-the-wall documentary which shares something of the hardscrabble poetry of Gianfranco Rosi's Fire at Sea, Il mio corpo threads together the lives of two boys on the cusp of manhood.

Rated: 4/5

Todd Jorgenson

Cinemalogue

Although a late twist feels forced, the film's observational approach shares their specific stories while resonating as a powerful glimpse into contemporary adolescence that spans culture and geography.

Matthew Anderson

CineVue

The sophomore director gives equal time and attention in exploring two sides of the same coin here, comparing and contrasting the plights of each young man.

Rated: 4/5

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

It's all attractively done and surely compassionate, but not much of it seems spontaneous and there's something a bit stifling about that.

Rated: 3/5
