      pasdenom i The title of this movie take it full raison d'etre at the end because before that it is more a police suspense, then it become a thriller, very well done with an incredible good rhythm, making the 125 minutes feel like 95. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Giuseppe S Immersed in the enchanting darkness of Milan, "The last night of Amore" by Andrea Di Stefano stands out as a captivating noir thriller that brings the Italian director back to the roots of the genre. Despite the absence of typical poliziottesco violence, the film enchants with its intricate plot and the extraordinary performances of the actors. The story follows Franco Amore, an honest policeman about to conclude a spotless career. The night transforms into a whirlwind of dangers, questioning his life and the pillars on which it is built. Pierfrancesco Favino and Linda Caridi deliver masterful performances, creating an irresistible chemistry on screen. With mastery, Di Stefano weaves narrative geometries in the narrow spaces of Milan, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. The dynamic chronological choice, particularly bold, reveals his skill in manipulating narrative time. Memorable sequences, such as the evocative finale and the highway journey, give the film a unique charm. With "The last night of Amore", Di Stefano offers a contemporary look at noir, evoking deep feelings without copying the past. An engaging cinematic experience that captures the essence of Milan at night and its mysterious shadows. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Michael L Absolutely fresh great movie with suspense until the last second. I was afraid of a bad end because this movie with a good end would be to good to be true but then it ended surprisingly perfect. I am very surprised that I never heard of this movie and that there is just a small amount of reviews. Looks like it is underrated and did not yet find the attention it deserves - maybe because it is not from US? Thank you for this unusual gem from Italy. Spread to word!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Laurie F No surprises here...There have been many films about the sh#t hitting the fan on a cops last day. Performances were OK but all in all a rather forgettable thriller. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review richie v EL PASADO NUNCA SE MUERE, NI SIQUIERA ES PASADO -WILLIAM FAULKNER Me interesa la sinopsis, en realidad, cualquier sinopsis me interesa, no soy de géneros, soy de cine (lo mismo me pasa con los libros, no tengo filtros). Y debo ver y aprender de todo, porque no soy un ignorante, sí que es verdad que algunos temas me pueden interesar más que otros pero, no me puedo negar a evitarlos. Pues, ésta sinopsis cuenta cosas interesantes sobre la historia de Franco Amore pero al comenzar a verla noto haberme equivocado de sala o dudo sí su sinópsis está bien. Al acabar el visionado sigo con la duda de la sinópsis equivocada pero me contradigo habiéndome gustado la película y asumiendo que no te dice ninguna mentira. Al completar este tenso thriller dramático puedo corroborar de su especial modo narrativo el cuál no entendía al principio, pero claro, esa es la gracia. Y contar la perspectiva de la historia desde diferentes puntos de vista es algo que de verdad ésta necesitaba. También aparte de que la película lo necesite, soy yo quién más necesita esa fotografía de Guido Michelotti, de una noche Italiana preciosa aunque no en el mejor momento, aun así es preciosa pase lo que pase. Esas vibras que no hace falta que explique se revolucionan solas por todo mi ser, me dan escalofríos positivos y paz, felicidad también. No es una historia original, al menos cómo yo lo veo, pero sí qué muy picante, esas de las que mantienes los ojos a la pantalla. Esas de las que cómo te despistes un poco menos de un minuto te pasará cómo cuando ibas al baño durante una clase de matemáticas. Me mantiene concentrado, entretenido, intrigante, sonriendo (muy importante), y algunas veces sabio, no me preguntéis porqué, pero a veces me lo noto. Esos son los objetivos que mínimamente se tienen que conseguir para que una historia de este estilo se me haga productiva, quizá es típico decirlo, y repetitivo, pero son esenciales, y Andrea lo consigue, con eso me quedo. Y con las interpretaciones de todos ellos también, especialmente Linda Caridi. -RICHIE VALERO Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Wayne M An entertaining thriller, though there are a few minor details that I didn't understand.

      Stephen Romei The Australian Guido Michelotti captures this tightrope walk, from the opening aerial shot of Milan, sweeping from its old world charm to its criminal underbelly, to the heart-racing last night. Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Not even close to mind-blowing, Last Night of Amore still comes shrouded in an acceptable aura of obscurity that triggers curiosity. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network Writer-director Andrea Di Stefano crafts a taut, stylized thriller where we are never certain if our protagonist and his loyal wife (a terrific Linda Caridi) will make it through the suspenseful, increasingly maddening night. Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Matt Hudson What I Watched Tonight You'll probably work out where things are heading before the film ends, but, fueled by a strong performance from Favino, our lead character Amore seems to know as well. This is a very decent and stylish crime thriller. Rated: 7.50/10 Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Writer-director Andrea Di Stefano elevates his film above the average crime thriller and earned its place in the Berlinale by making the movie’s true focus Amore and Viviana’s marriage. Mar 15, 2023 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International It’s been a while since we’ve seen such a stylish Italian crime thriller. Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
