The movie so often lapses into cliche—shutters closing as neighbors look away from a crime, a jump cut to scattering birds as a fatal shot is fired—that the drama begins to feel canned.

While it may have a seemingly noteworthy subject matter, The Sicilian Girl is as trite as television movie of the week.

A rawness to a film can often work in its favor, especially with stories like this one, but not in this case.

Rated: 2.5/5

From the Front Row

The story's inherent tension is rendered dramatically inert, a victim of its own awkward staging and misguided attempts at emotional posturing.

Comes out a bit as tv movie, but the flaws makes it even more realistic in the depiction of mafia life and the rebellion of the girl. This is not the story of a mob girl not obeying to Omerta. It is the story of a girl that didn't know she was born in the mafia and despised everything about them for good reasons! In Italy, there was manifestations anti-mafia. Frankly, I wonder why the mafia is not fought better and harder by everyone. People, and the police, don't care about all the evil that come from them. That is of course because of the bribes and the profits, and their own psychopathy.

I shouldn't rate it at all, but got to be honest... I can't do subtitles.

This was a really great movie and the sub titles were no problem. Rita was a strong courageous young woman who had a very difficult 17 years. She did the right thing and lost everything and everyone and then finally her life. A very sad story yet inspiring at the same time.

Not your typical mob movie...not even sure if anybody would consider this a mob movie. This film is more of a tale about the mob from an individual's perspective outside the mob. Regardless, this film is intriguing and it was enjoyable to watch. The fact that it was based on a true story just makes it more awesome!
