Stephen Holden New York Times [An] melancholy rumination on time, love and decay... Rated: 4/5 Aug 3, 2011 Full Review Diego Semerene Slant Magazine Chris Marker territory, but here the ideas are firmly anchored in specific characters who become more fleshly as the storytelling patchwork unfolds. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 3, 2011 Full Review David Fear Time Out Both a skid-row travelogue and a torrid romantic tale... Rated: 3/5 Aug 3, 2011 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News Far from being a major work, and it's not clear how well it might stand on its own...But once again, American film releases have slowed down enough to let us backtrack and fill in the gaps. Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Dan Jardine Cinemania The film tells a very unusual yet remarkably sweet love story in a very minimalist and indirect way Rated: 71/100 Jul 11, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting portrait of Genoa, but really didn't bring together the disparate parts, and the archival footage seemed to be thrown in fairly randomly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member una storia d'amore non convenzionale tra un transessuale e un uomo che ha scontato 24 anni di galera, sullo sfondo una Genova multietnica,con filmati fi oggi e di ieri....una bella idea di film ma il racconto in prima persona e certe scene che non arricchisono il film rendono lento e noios il racconto!! Peccato! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Il vincitore del Torino Film Festival è poco più di un cortometraggio ma davvero poetico, con un occhio particolare ai bassifondi di Genova. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
