4/5
Its mordant, deadpan sense of humor and a confining sense of atmospheric dread, paired with Trinca's impressive turn and an incredible Mephistopheles in Tedeschi, make Strippoli's latest his most entertaining, relatable, and thrilling yet.  Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Sep 9, 2026
4/5
An uproarious edge-of-the-seat gripper in which Valeria Bruni Tedeschi gives us the funniest performance of the festival and the best of her career Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2026
A likely candidate for a U.S. remake and stands to be an international calling card for Strippoli.
