Audience Member Bellissimo film sulla diversità e sui pregiudizi. Lo consiglio a tutti... A great movie on social prejudices and on diversity. I suggest everyone to see it... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Had potential, and was set up for a grand finale, but was fairly disappointing in the end. Having brought up some interesting themes - injustice against women, women's liberation and same-sex marriage - it only half-heartedly explored them, and doesn't leave any lasting impression. Interesting, nevertheless, with good performances from the two lead actresses. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It was interesting to watch the entire way through and at the ending sequence I broke down just like the main fucking character. Damn tricky Italian filmmakers, stop raping my tearducts. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Read alot of reviews on this film before viewing. None of reviews were exaggerated. It's a great film, but have a box of tissues nearby Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the more decen ones. very watchable with an telegenic italian cast and the pretty sicilian seaside town. moral of the story? you've found each other, for goodness sakes, forget about babies! see where that got you two, sara and angela. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the couple in this movie very much.. >< but the ending was just sad :(.. and I really want to shoot one character dead in this movie >< pff..
