The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, filmed with painterly grace under natural light from frigid winter to redemptive spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for 'Vermiglio,' Maura Delpero’s visionary film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. This singular portrait of a sprawling family, set in the small, mountainous village of Vermiglio during the waning days of WWII, follows a series of dramatic, consequential events after the arrival of a taciturn Sicilian soldier (Giuseppe De Domenico), who hides out in town after deserting the army. While there, the soldier develops a romance with the family's eldest daughter, Lucia (Martina Scrinzi). 'Vermiglio' shows the lives of a provincial family in a remote village suspended in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring stories from her own family's past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but through Lucia's perspective 'Vermiglio' feels distinct and novel.

Greg Nussen Slant Magazine Vermiglio is at once delicate and forceful, though this same quality ensures its narrative gets diffuse. Rated: 3/4 Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Zachary Lee RogerEbert.com Delpero’s film is quiet in depicting change but basks in the incremental disruptions that can change and disrupt the status quo of power. Nov 1, 2024 Full Review 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 Alexander Harrison Screen Rant Many things at once, Vermiglio achieves a kind of cohesion that I can only really explain by waving my hands and invoking the magic of cinema. Rated: 8/10 Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending This is a truly exquisite cinematic achievement about complicated familial dynamics where matriarchy must often gently battle patriarchy for the sake of her children. Rated: A Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney The Curb Vermiglio is a rich tapestry of human sensibility. It is tender, funny, devastating, and hopeful. A profound cinematic observation. Rated: 5/5 Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
