criticism

"With his feature film debut, documentary filmmaker Mimmo Calopresti succeeded in creating a powerful and intense psychodrama with many socially critical moments in which Nanni Moretti persecutes his former tormentor as a victim of Italian terrorism in the 1980s."

“A first film made with charm and intelligence, which copes with its complex subject in a credible manner. Exactly in the description of the social environment and played excellently, the film has a high degree of intensity and human warmth. "
