Critic Reviews

Paula Nechak

Istanbul-born director Ferzan Ozpetek has outdone himself with this wise and ruminative mystery about memory, unfulfillment and yearning. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

Ozpetek brings a straight love story and world politics into the mix, but it's his brilliant cast which completes the connection. Read full review

David Sterritt

Gentle and life-affirming, if too sentimental in the end. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Despite its surreal touches and an improbable story that piles on the metaphors, the movie, which has a rich, honey-dripping score by Andrea Guerra, maintains a tone of refined heart-tugging realism. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Probably best skipped - unless you have a penchant for shallow, "comfortable" foreign films that offer obvious messages and never attempt to challenge the viewer. Read full review

Deborah Young

Only partially succeeds in interweaving questions of family loyalty with historical memory and the fate of Italian Jews in WW2. Read full review

Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf

There's way too much schmaltz in the mix. Even the musical score bombs: Throbbing, eerie techno simply does not suit a character trapped in the 1940s. Read full review
