As virtual tourism, it's a success but as dramatic fare it's a distinctly thin bowl of zuppa.

A disaster area, pure and simple.

Ozpetek takes these men and women as they are, revealing deep emotions in broad strokes. Everyone here is a disappointed misfit, not just the loose cannons in the clan.

Loose Cannons uses the format of a family comedy but goes further, universalizing conflicts by giving them existential meaning. [Full review in Spanish]

Openly gay Turkish film director Ferzan Ozpetek has never been nelly about scattering characters of his own persuasion throughout his oeuvre. . . .Here he again explores the plight of closeted homosexuals in a gentle farce full of fond stereotypes.

One of the most well done made movie about gay community, satirical and emotional at the same time, I'll definitely recommend to watch.

The initial idea is OK, but it loses the line of its own string as it advances. Also, it starts mainly in the comedy and ends in a drama with little sense.

I enjoyed the movie which touches on many universial human conditions. The stereotyping of the gay friends is annoying. Other than that the film is entertaining and beautifully filmed.

This was a really beautiful, a really well made Italian movie. The European cinema can be very creative and very artistic and I adore it for that. This movie managed to create the perfect italian atmosphere but also to show a very compelling family story in the most respectful way. The plot was great,the acting was at its best and the whole movie was a joy.
