Adam Nayman eye WEEKLY The result is a blandly schizophrenic melodrama. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2011 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 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 Apr 1, 2011 Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies 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 Apr 1, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

tom I am glad I watched this film even though the critics did not like it. Elio Germano deserves the awards he received. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Una historia cruda y realista, con mucho drama. Recomendable, para ver algo no hollywoodense. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Elio Germano molto bravo, l'ambientazione particolare nei cantieri edilizi romani. Drammatico quanto basta e noioso. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member has real heart at its core Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Steve R Amazingly sad story....beautiful though. Gritty and hard to bare, but worth it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/11 Full Review Read all reviews
