Parthenope, born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime.

“Parthenope” is a work of casual mastery; you could say that it’s great and it’s beautiful.

[Parthenope is] played by Celeste Dalla Porta, a great beauty indeed and an empathetic screen presence, though only fitfully does her character seem worthy of this movie’s epic enshrinement.

In Review Online

For all of its surface-level pleasures, the film often amounts to simply posing the facile question: “What if a woman were both beautiful and intelligent?” Will wonders never cease!

Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat

It's curious, although Sorrentino brings to every shot his characteristic visual style and his emotional approach to portray Naples as if it was a character, it all feels rather pragmatic. [Full review in Spanish]

Loud and Clear Reviews

Sorrentino nods to the poorer crowded area of the city but, when seen through the eyes of the always-stylish Parthenope, such scenes feel like an exercise in performative box-ticking.

Rated: 2.5/5
