Ruthlessly human
Basically, I watched the movie out of curiosity about the performance of Luca Marinelli, who is becoming one of the most admired actors of Italy. It turned out to be a really captivating story, thanks to the impressive, merciless realism of every single aspect of the setting. As a matter of fact the movie shows a perfect representation of the outskirts' most tragic aspects and human weakness in general. This, as well as the charachters' convincing portrayals, makes the movie exceptionally involving and touching. Definitely inappropriate if you're looking for some light-hearted entertainment, but absolutely recommended.

As harsh as beautiful
This is a majestically crafted movie who tells a really difficult story in the best way possible. Is the kind of movie that prints their mark over the viewer, impossible to walk out from the cinema without feeling a bit different. The story is pretty intense, show a part of italy often forgotten and try to answer to the question "how can they live this way?"
