The result is a blandly schizophrenic melodrama.

Even Germano's charismatic performance leaves the impression that, when you get down to the core of human behaviour, a conscience is far less helpful than a talent for charm.

Rated: 2/4

In the end, loose ends are tied up implausibly, and Claudio learns an important lesson (you know he does, because he has the second of his two emotional scenes in the movie).

Rated: 2.5/5

I am glad I watched this film even though the critics did not like it. Elio Germano deserves the awards he received.

Una historia cruda y realista, con mucho drama. Recomendable, para ver algo no hollywoodense.

Elio Germano molto bravo, l'ambientazione particolare nei cantieri edilizi romani. Drammatico quanto basta e noioso.

I really enjoyed this film. The critics have read to much into it. It's movie about 'their life' of course they triumph. What I got from was the essence of Italian culture - to live and love life to the fullest. Yes the ending was a little contrived but not implausible. You wouldn't be wasting your time if you see it.

Amazingly sad story....beautiful though. Gritty and hard to bare, but worth it.
