      Desson Thomson Washington Post Although Maglietta's appealing as Rosalba, cowriter and director Silvio Scoldini's movie is a little too shopworn and pokey to be more than a respectable European diversion. Rated: 2/5 Jan 6, 2002 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star It's almost as if Solidini ... figured that all he had to do was put a crowd of eccentric characters together and magic would occur. Nov 2, 2001 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail As for star Licia Maglietta, the appeal of the film is nearly all in her presence. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 2, 2001 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Um filme charmoso e cativante. Rated: 5/5 Jun 7, 2003 Full Review Jamie Gillies Apollo Guide The last 20 minutes of the film include some of the most romantic filmmaking in a long time. Rated: 75/100 Jun 2, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      sdjfk What a great film! It is great to see real Italy in the film instead of fake Hollywood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review Audience Member An adorable yet quirky love story. One of my favorites. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming and uplifting! I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Lovely movie which makes one happy. Maglietta is pretty in a wonderful matronly way and her smile makes some of the things she does acceptable. On first watching I didn't notice that she was always breaking things, a trope that I could have done without. I kept wanting to scream at her, but all that stuff down that you've got in your hands before trying to do things, but maybe that's the point. She needs to drop her old life. Wonderful quotes from Orlando Furioso, which every Westerner should know. Bruno Ganz is appealing and you can see what she sees in him. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member At least there's subtitles to help you stay awake. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 7.2/10, my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-2wc Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
