Mick V If you don’t mind subtitles, this is a quirky fairy tale real life treat. Loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Audience Member watch it if you like subtle cute and smart humor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat charming, but that doesn't mean the movie is interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A carefree (& moral-free) young Sicilian finds that the easiest way to live is to pluck other people's ripe juicy oranges. Even after repeated wallopings, he never learns -- until he's thrown into jail with a scary murderer. This get really hilarious from there, and it ends in a trademark happy & chirpy. 3 stars for entertainment value. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A crew of first time Sicilian filmmakers buy new equipment, teach themselves to use it and make The Orange Thief with surprisingly entertaining results. This may be a pretentious description, but this movie epitomizes Italian Magic Neo-Realism. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The Orange Thief is a wonderful little independent film with a distinctive, pleasing flavor. With less than $15,000, the filmmakers succeed in taking the viewer on a trip to old Sicily, or is it modern Sicily? The mixture of old and new, with a catchy folk soundtrack and some deadpan humor, make for an enjoyable treat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
