Love, death, cinema — they’re all there in Mia Madre, bumping up against one another beautifully.

The upshot is an emotionally satisfying fusion of the mixed up and the magical.

Moretti’s exploration of loss is unquestionably affecting, and My Mother has powerful moments, yet they’re not always well integrated with the broadly pitched moviemaking scenes, featuring a caricaturish John Turturro.

It has plenty of emotionally satisfying scenes and its share of humorous moments, but the drama and comedy mix like oil and water.

Huggins is brash and brisk, of course, with Moretti cleaving to an old-fashioned myth of the American interloper. But Turturro is slightly too broad for the occasion, relishing the outbursts of the spoiled star.

Turturro deserves four stars – but the rest of Moretti’s saggy melodrama is scarcely half as good.
