Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is wonderfully acted with unaffected naturalism by its cast of professionals and newcomers and plays an extravagant, almost shameless pizzicato on the audience’s heartstrings. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter The portrait of a nearly vanished rural way of life remains compelling, and the melodrama engaging enough to suggest this might have been improved by being spread thinner as a TV series. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety The remarkable, raw-boned and ravishing Vermiglio takes place in the past but operates like a future family secret playing out in the present tense, a perspective that is not quite Godlike, but comes from that which we might as well call God. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League It's remarkable not only how it manages a large and complicated cast but also in how it uses great simplicity to convey the complicated passage of time. Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Vermiglio is brilliant - successfully conjuring an arthouse post-World War II Italian Brady Bunch of sorts. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International Beautifully shot, played by a mix of professional actors and locals and spoken mostly in dialect, Vermiglio feels both authentic and almost restrained to a fault. Yet there’s no denying the filmmaking prowess of Delpero. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
