Managing to avoid facile sentimentality, the story grows emotionally more and more engaging thanks to Moretti's impeccable comic timing and neurotic acumen.
-
80Beautifully modulated, fluidly told film expresses pain with warm understatement.
-
60Don't expect anything too profound from this middleweight fare - but it'll still be better than the inevitable remake.
-
60Thankfully, Mr. Grimaldi and the screenwriters have no great lessons to impart or messages to deliver, and the film, while uneven -- sometimes too on the nose, sometimes anecdotal and diffuse -- is generally absorbing, thanks mostly to the quality of the acting.
-
50Stick around till the end. You don't want to miss an unexpected cameo from a filmmaker I won't name. Hint: He's short, likes younger women and isn't Woody Allen.
-
50Moretti makes this ''study'' in despair a naggingly neutral, at times borderline coy experience.
-
Not even the momentary participation extraordinaire of a vertically challenged famous filmmaker self-exiled from the United States can save this phony pseudo-drama from its final collapse into a heap of inconsequence and male vanity.

MarkW8Maybe a touch overly sentimental but very enjoyable. I'm sorry it didn't get better reviews.
