The Last One for the Road gives itself over to an aimlessness that doesn’t so much reflect the characters’ lives as it does the script’s lack of commitment to interiority. Go to Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety Jun 10
Loosely reminiscent of the happy-sad fables of Alice Rohrwacher, Francesco Sossai’s boozy dramedy is enchanting even when it briefly veers into predictable territory. Go to Full Review Sparks Lowry Spectrum Culture 2d

Combining mischievous energy with stylish throwback visuals, this meandering Italian comedy of lifelong friendships and arrested development compensates for its jumbled narrative momentum with bittersweet charm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
