Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Bellocchio stages a gentle, eminently watchable return to some of the key themes that have haunted his 50 years of filmmaking, particularly the scarring left by a dysfunctional family and maternal love gone awry.
– Deborah Young,
Hollywood Reporter,

rotten:
The film is composed of several exquisite stand-alone sequences unsatisfactorily strung together on a thin cord of mother love, in a story of a middle-aged man unable to overcome the loss of his mother when he was nine.
– Jay Weissberg,
Variety,
12 May 2016
rotten:
Berenice Bejo, who shows up late in the going as the protagonist's lover, makes the lead actor look even less charismatic by comparison.
