From Academy and BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, LA GRAZIA is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Toni Servillo -- winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival -- stars as Italy's outgoing president, Mariano De Santis, navigating moral and personal crossroads with the help of his confidante and daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). With Sorrentino's signature poetic vision and an evocative soundtrack, this heartfelt masterwork is an intimate meditation on fatherhood, conscience, and the enduring question: who owns our days?

Critics Consensus

Celebrating the virtues of fortitude and patience, La Grazia is an atypically restrained effort from writer-director Paolo Sorrentino that reunites him with the dependably majestic Toni Servillo.

Most assuredly, though, this is a duo of director and star once more moving in concert together, maybe not as confidently as with some previous efforts, but with a knowing intelligence.

It’s a startling image, in a movie full of startling, sometimes unexpected ones (like that of a robot dog making a late entrance in this picture).

Mr. Sorrentino is only in his 50s (and Mr. Servillo, in his 60s, is younger than the man he portrays), yet he has made a film about seniority that captures its subject so sensitively that it is, in an unassuming way, glorious.

It becomes a very thoughtful meditation of forgiveness, regret, and moving forward.

I’m not sure it actually has anything to say. And this director has been gilding a sort of old windbag’s wistfulness for “the good old days” so long already, where can he go from here?

Once a movie goer accepts that "La Grazia" is an all-forms-of-love-story about a man beloved for being cautious and thoughtful, it is easier to get into the rhythm of the film.

Anyone who appreciates the storytelling style of Paolo Sorrentino and his collaborative process with Toni Servillo will want to see this film — another fresh take on self reflection, lifes meaning, the importance of whats true or not true, and the impact of the choices we make. I was captivated for the entire 2 hrs and 11 minutes.

Esthetics, meanings, feelings and some real reflections. This movie has all the best feats you can expect from Sorrentino

Every image sings. A contemplation of life and death made with subtlety and grace. None of the baroque imaginings of earlier film but all the richer for being leaner.

Quiet, beautiful, and just deep enough not to be oppressive. The cinematography makes you ache, perhaps because it shows landscapes that don’t exist any more, not in any real, accessible sense. La Grazia is nuance, real acting, and real emotional texture. It is a quiet movie that rewards attention, not because its intricacies will confuse a distracted audience member, but because you want to see each facial expression and every tiny atmospheric detail. If you have any sense of poetry, watch this movie.
