Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Turgid, overwrought, yet still profoundly affecting.

fresh:
A richly textured drama, resoundingly alive with characters.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Neither neo-realist nor particularly artsy, Rocco might make for a fat, satisfying beach-read of a movie if only it weren't so convinced of its own magnitude.
– Michael Atkinson,
Village Voice,

fresh:
There is in this strong and surging drama of an Italian peasant family's shattering fate in the face of the brutalizing forces of unfamiliar modern city life a kind of emotional fullness and revelation that one finds in the great tragedies of the Greeks.
