luca d Strongly inspired by the event of the "Crack Parmalat" the film makes the best of the world of Italian industry of those years, many thieves and few guards, a continuous of scams, speculations and robberies that eventually turn a small hole into a chasm. the product is of a good standard and I recommend it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Audience Member un onesto film che spiega, senza troppe giri di parole, cosa è successo dietro al caso Parmalat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A fine rendition of the financial misdeeds that brought down Ledo, the Italian milk producer cum conglomerate a few years ago. As always, Toni Servillo, the marvelous Italian actor who most recently appeared in "The Great Beauty," lends his understated acting power to the film's success. Well worth seeing! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very soon it becomes clear that this film is really about Parmalat (and thus about one of the largest bankruptcies in the history of Italy). However: the film is never compelling. The only thing that is worthwile of this film is that Toni Servillo is in the lead role. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Non è certamente il film migliore in cui recita Servillo, il quale ha comunque sfoderato un'ottima prestazione, tanto quanto Remo Girone. Ho apprezzato l'intento e la denuncia. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Half way from a movie and a documentary, based on the story of the failure of the italian society Parmalat. Not a bad film but nothing exciting. No name of the real people involved in this fact are done. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
