04/11/2022 An accurate depiction of the Italian mafia and life in Sicily with it, without stereotypes or Americanised views. See more Emilio T @MilloTPue 04/26/2020 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. See more 07/23/2019 Softly introduces the world of Mafia in Italy, through the eyes of a kid. Brilliant See more 06/28/2019 7/10 cute with history... just cute See more nefasto r @Nefasto 01/06/2018 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! See more 10/19/2016 An uneven mixture of light-hearted romance and heavy-footed reality in the life of Palermo. See more Read all reviews
