      Robert Abele Los Angeles Times "We Weren't Just Bicycle Thieves. Neorealism" is as breezy and affable as film histories get. Oct 8, 2015 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice All this history and critical appreciation is lightened by Lizzani's genial goofiness: This is the only history-of-an-art doc you'll see this year that keeps cutting to the director's dog ... Sep 29, 2015 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International More a rambling shuffling of notes than a fully thought-out thesis, barely scratching the surface of neorealism's revolutionary impact on the form and other filmmakers.

      Audience Member A well-made, very slick, very warm, lecture this certainly is, feels like a film more than a documentary sometimes. Great insight into the study of Neorealism, spiced with precious footage and insightful interviews of great directors and other industry greats. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
