90A fine and loving memorial that preserves his charm, his intellect and his splendid body of work.
-
80Nearly three and a half hours in length, but owing to its freedom of movement, the film feels weightless.
-
80The kind of full-length career portrait that every great actor deserves but rarely receives.
-
78From the fan's perspective this is sheer bliss, the next best thing to pouring a couple of glasses of grappa and sitting down with a bona fide film immortal (and world-class raconteur) for a long, intimate conversation.
-
75A long, warm, satisfying farewell encounter.
-
70By no means a great movie...the movie is most liable to rekindle warm gratitude for all the pleasure he gave us.
-
60A lovely homage to a charismatic star.
-
50Even Mastroianni cannot hold our attention for over three hours.
-
An exhausting, overindulgent film, at least for American audiences...the experience feels like Grampa Simpson meets "Cinema Paradiso."
