fresh:
Amelio deals with the sensitive subject in a mature matter, refusing to descend into Hollywood-style schmaltz.
– V.A. Musetto,

fresh:
It takes a story that could be turned into the most florid kind of tear-jerker and instead tells it with an exactness and a restraint that makes it powerfully effective.

rotten:
