Richard Brody The New Yorker Pasolini both affirms the classical grandeur of cinematic modernism and conveys his sense of a time out of joint. Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm ... about modernity’s failure and inability to take the crucifixion seriously—to say nothing of Jesus’ words about caring for the poor.

Petros T An amusing satire that deals with class, art and Christianity with an unexpected yet surely welcome amount of humour and goofiness, “La ricotta” is a pleasant and occasionally thought-provoking watch throughout, culminating in a fittingly grim, grounding finale. On the downside, it begins with an apologetic disclaimer from Pasolini himself, makes a point out of stating its meaning in the most blatant ways possible, including via the intentionally stiff acting, and loses steam in the second half. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
