Imagine 'Gomorrah' remade as a Ben Stiller romcom.

I suspect that it works best of you're an aficionado of recent Italian political history, its inside jokes and its incidental characters.

It's a messy premise, one that doesn't seem readily available for humor, but what humor is there, Pif finds.

3/5

Set in Palermo "where the mafia influences everyone's lives", Pierfrancesco Diliberto's coming of age picture is a light, witty yet at the same time deadly serious affair.

After a slow start, some lively performances and shock developments keep attention levels high.

An accurate depiction of the Italian mafia and life in Sicily with it, without stereotypes or Americanised views.

The movie is mostly a light comedy with many local jokes (funny, but not outstanding) but, then, it comes to the moment when it talks about the damage that Mafia has done to Sicily and how the region stands in front of its past and its future, and that becomes overwhelming.

Softly introduces the world of Mafia in Italy, through the eyes of a kid. Brilliant

Tutto sommato è un bel film. Se poi teniamo conto che il regista è "pif" direi che è perfetto: tutto quello che si poteva fare... è stato fatto!

An uneven mixture of light-hearted romance and heavy-footed reality in the life of Palermo.
