A good, very peculiar, thriller
plbancale3 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Locked up in the narrow space of the gymnasium, what takes place is the fight for survival, without discounts, a process animated by inappropriate beliefs and perpetrated by typical characters, with the sole objective of hiding the truth.

Playing him, between skepticism and heartache, are Franco (Claudio Santamaria), the wealthy entrepreneur, Carmen (Raffaella Rea), a divorced mother with a clandestine relationship with the latter and the modest couple made up of Aldo (Sergio Rubini) and Rossella (Angela Finocchiaro), adoptive parents of a less fortunate boy.

A very intricate situation or better tragic: a gang rape in the school gym.

A good original film, well written, well made, well directed and well acted.

A theatrical work well transposed in front of the camera.

2/10
Annoying display of parental hypocrisy
Ladiloque30 May 2024
Potentially great subject. Few actors arguing like in a theatrical piece.

Unfortunately bad acting (not sure if it's a script problem or what... the actors are expert and renowned...), unrealistic/predictable plot and stale, depressing social stereotypes make it a very underwhelming experience.

Even at 2x it feels like a waste of time.

Since I'm required to add more stuff let's say that this feels like a bad development for the couple of brother screenplayers/directors. I had appreciated the interesting (though at least partially still raw/unrefined) "La terra dell'abbastanza" and "Favolacce": let's just say that I won't look forward to their next works.
