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

Both a skid-row travelogue and a torrid romantic tale...

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.

Cinemania

The film tells a very unusual yet remarkably sweet love story in a very minimalist and indirect way

Rated: 71/100

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

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

Il vincitore del Torino Film Festival Ã¨ poco piÃ¹ di un cortometraggio ma davvero poetico, con un occhio particolare ai bassifondi di Genova.
