What to Know

Critics Consensus

Strong performances and a lovely setting are half the battle for Made in Italy -- unfortunately, the other half is lost by a disappointingly slight story.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) There's nothing original here and, despite the real-life parallels, little authenticity. Rated: 2/5 Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Those in the market for domestic drama, sexual tension and humorous mishaps against a backdrop of sawing and sweeping would be advised to try any home renovation show over this. Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Realism is clearly not a strong suit for writer-director James D'Arcy, but he gets pretty good comic performances from his likeable cast, which includes Lindsay Duncan as an acerbic estate agent. Rated: 3/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Jesse Hassenger Decider Ultimately, this is a family drama in the vein of Neeson’s lower-tier thrillers: It gets the job done with some efficiency, but it’s hard not to think of the many times Neeson himself has done similar, better movies. Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Made in Italy has indeed an emotionally compelling father-son story that many viewers will surely connect with, but James D'Arcy's directorial and screenplay debut is not going to be remembered for long. Rated: C Jul 24, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Made in Italy keeps the ball rolling on the problems of the rich and white in the Tuscan countryside — grab a number and get in line. Rated: 2/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Corey A nice little movie with great cast , storyline and scenery. Maybe will see it again. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/20 Full Review Mark H Some nice Italian scenery in this but the acting is wooden (especially Liam Neeson), the plot is predictable and the story is dull. A lot of emotional glances about a relationship with a father and son that no longer connect after the death of the mother of Micheal Richardson’s character. The characters are meant to be healing their broken relationship, but it is never very clear what the rift is about to begin with, other than the father shutting out the son. This movie is only worth watching for the scenery. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review bob c Junk. Neeson is asleep and his son is hopeless. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Kieran F Created an account to express my disappointment with this movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Dr G S Every imaginable - and unimaginative - cliche is jammed in here. A weak plot, and time-worn tropes trotted out to fill the space. Proves that a good cast-list and great scenery can't redeem a vacuous screenplay. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Art T Oh! after renewing Netflix, not finding the sort of movies I like, Voila! I find this Liam Neeson and son charmer that is slow at the start but bubbles up into a grief stricken reunion of father and son, and reminds us, that these two actually lost Natasha Richardson years earlier. I felt their sorrow but also love this romantically tragic tale come full circle, and under the Tuscan Sun, give me a few minutes of emotional satisfaction I rarely get from other films... Well Done. Kudos to Julian Ovendon, Lindsay Price, and of course, the lovely Italian siren who steals every scene. best viewed if you are sick of horror, violence, oversexualized and too graphic crap dominating our airwaves.
