The Pink Lens

Dreamy, passionate and exceptionally serious, this decades-long romance is underserved by its over-generous helping.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

While the film meanders a bit in the middle and final third, jumping from time frame to time frame, the inevitable resolution perhaps feels a bit anticlimactic by the time it rolls around.

Rated: 3/5

Beyond some inconsistencies, Nuovo Olimpo is a love story between two men that focuses on the essence of its characters, showing them as they are, without limitations or prejudices... [Full review in Spanish]

Ready Steady Cut

Whilst Nuovo Olimpo might be just another love story, it is worth watching for its slow, arty, poetic style, and nods to cinema.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Nuovo Olimpo is, unfortunately, not enough to make its delightful concept work.

The movie has some very beautiful moments between the main characters and the network of friends and partners they develop throughout the years. Damiano Gavino and Andrea Di Luigi create nuanced and tender performances that pulled me into their world. The ending is painful but beautiful. It is interesting the way the roles between the characters has reversed with Pietro now pursuing Enea and so clearly describing their situation. It is sad the way "time and space" did get in the way of their love but as Pietro said- they never forgot each other. I understand some of the comments about the way the characters aged but that was minor to me. There were some powerful moments in the final scenes. The musical underscoring worked beautifully adding a whole other layer to their relationship.
