Critics Consensus

Loro uses the larger-than-life exploits of an infamous public figure to present a messily compelling snapshot of how power attracts -- and corrupts.

Tim Cogshell

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Paolo [Sorrentino]'s films are full of beauty and decadence... In this particular instance, the decadence owes to this actual man who was actually decadent.

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

This sometimes beguiling but more often strangely engineered movie continues, stretching its increasingly muddy soup of gleaming nastiness and gaudy power plays until even the central portrait of the man himself is more cartoonish than corrosive.

Ann Hornaday

Washington Post

For all of Sorrentino's prodigious gifts as a scenarist, "Loro" is a disturbing movie, for all the wrong reasons and, despite its self-consciously arty pretensions, a breathtakingly callow one.

Rated: 1/4

Despite the endless debauchery Sorrentino understands that at his core, Berlusconi is nothing more than a void. The film's ending is appropriately depressing.

Digging Sorrentino's hyper stylish presentation it was never going to be difficult to please me aesthetically here, however the plot definitely lacked focus at times, feeling more like a series of snapshots than a continuous story. Loro definitely provided a unique exploration of how power, and the way one wields it, can attract certain people while repelling others. I'll leave the low hanging fruit be and refrain from pointing out all the parallels on display with this character and some of our current world leaders. 7.5/10

I found it an empty, useless and too long movie.

Brilliant (double) acting by Toni Servillo, and Paolo Sorrentino's strong images, caricatures and colours are reminiscent of Almodóvar.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Brilliant biting satire with another great performance from Toni Servillo as the corrupt perma tanned hair weaved Silvio Berlusconi. The film is long but the script and the sharpness of Palo Sorrentino as a director make it a rewarding experience and Toni Servillo is one of the greatest actors in European cinema .

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
