Over many years, an Italian family contends with buried secrets, separation, infidelity and the power of love.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

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.

Rated: 3/5

"Muddled" is the polite word, balderdash the preferred one.

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The Italian denim company Meltin' Pot paid for Rankin and Chris Cottam's unendurably pretentious stab at gangland street spirituality. Why?

Philip French

Observer (UK)

As painfully hypnotic as watching a religious zealot ranting in the street and carrying a banner proclaiming the second coming.

Nicholas Barber

Independent on Sunday

Comes across as an obscure Renaissance play which has been badly modernised.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
