      David Parkinson Empire Magazine A fun and insightful slice of Roman life. Next up, M25: The Movie? Rated: 4/5 Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) Sacro GRA is the sort of beautifully observed, leisurely paced verité documentary that gets made all too rarely now. Rated: 5/5 Nov 7, 2014 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) A rough and ready, unsanctioned tour of the Eternal City's fraying seams. Rated: 4/5 Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Though the film meanders a bit too long — there’s no sense of urgent necessity, and the sense of a potentially infinite film with no coherence induced minor impatience eventually — its hypnotic reverie effectively worked its charms on me. Jan 25, 2023 Full Review D.W. Mault CineVue Sacro GRA peers into a silent world and finds the unseen and unheard of its all encompassing vitality. Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue Taking in a vast and diverse range of eccentric characters, Sacro GRA amounts to little more than a collage of individual sketches that fails to ever coalesce into something greater than the sum of its parts.

      filippo v Brevi episodi di vita quotidiana che non coinvolgono come altri film dello stesso regista. Si percepisce una nuova direzione stilistica che diventerà praticamente la costante dei suoi ultimi film, un aspetto che andrà ad intaccare leggermente la spontaneità della sua messa in scena. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The fact that these different individuals have only an enormous ring road in common seems like an arbitrary link between them to create a broad portrait (yet in very broad strokes) of Italian society, and it feels detached as it observes but doesn't bring us close to these people. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Andrea A se visto e ascoltato con attenzione è un film che lascia il segno. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/14 Full Review antti p Sacro GRA is a circular road going around Rome, and the documentary is about people living/working alongside it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It doesn't show anything that was supposed to show, only normal scenes of everyday life in a normal and peaceful outskirts. Nothing interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A decadent nobleman, a transvestite prostitute, a botanist on a mission to save palm trees from insect infestation, a kind-hearted paramedic. They are only four of the many colourful characters who live in the areas around Rome's famous Ring Road followed by Gianfranco Rosi in his latest work. This year's Golden Lion winner, the first documentary to win the coveted prize, Sacro GRA feels as much like a tender and heartfelt look at these everyday people as it does an enchanting portrayal of the magical side and uniqueness of these individuals. It also feels like the more realistic spin on the familiar multiple plotline structure that is prominent in fiction filmmaking but never feels as genuine and harrowing as it does in this documentary. Furthermore, its wonderful and careful photography makes it seem like a touching and entertaining narrative drama that is often at once funny and tragic - an approach that both reveals and flatters Rosi's scope of seeking and showing the beauty of the comedy and drama of everyday life.
