Summary: Mariano De Santis (Toni Servillo) is the President of the Italian Republic. No connection to any real-life presidents; he is entirely a product of the author’s imagination. A widower and a Catholic, he has a daughter, Dorotea, a legal scholar like himself.

Sorrentino supplies the occasional surreal house-style flourish – a drifting tear observed in zero gravity – but mostly the director leans into the quiet complexities of Servillo’s turn. Read full review

The unknowability of life is beautiful, but so too is our desire to know. To be human, La Grazia seems to say, is to fight and lose against uncertainty, and then to fight and lose some more. Read full review

The magic of La grazia is that Paolo Sorrentino makes a convincing argument that doubt is a beautiful thing.

The relative restraint of La Grazia makes its baroque flourishes stand out all the more. Read full review

It’s enjoyable to be back in Sorrentino’s richly detailed and stylized universe, with all its enchantments and individualized, warm-blooded characters. Read full review

The movie will not exactly set your pulse racing. It’s staid. But there’s a hum of inspiration to its meditation. Read full review

Perhaps La Grazia is enjoyed best as a more optimistic B-side to either Il Divo or Loro, Sorrentino’s lewd and scurrilous biopics of the former Italian prime ministers Giulio Andreotti and Silvio Berlusconi – both of which, incidentally, were also played by Servillo. But I know which ones I’d rather put on for fun. Read full review
