Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 01/26/2007
3/5
The moral of this well-shot but grossly uneven film is obviously that, once you get what you want, you may well find either that you don't want it, or that devastating complications can ensue. Go to Full Review

"Muddled" is the polite word, balderdash the preferred one. Go to Full Review

The Italian denim company Meltin' Pot paid for Rankin and Chris Cottam's unendurably pretentious stab at gangland street spirituality. Why? Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 01/28/2007
As painfully hypnotic as watching a religious zealot ranting in the street and carrying a banner proclaiming the second coming. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Barber Independent on Sunday 01/28/2007
Comes across as an obscure Renaissance play which has been badly modernised. Go to Full Review

2/5
Not every turn in the story is well judged, but what's more damaging is that the film's general aura is not sufficiently powerful. Go to Full Review

angela e 09/29/2023 Even though it is sad and heartbreaking, l enjoyed it very much and have watched it a couple of times and even suggested it to people. I also adore Sophia Loren. Okay, I might not give it an A, but I'd at least give it a B. There are parts I would edit out. It's worth watching if you adore Sophia Loren. She's an ageless beauty, like a chiseled sculpture.
