Good concept, poorly executed.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Feel good pieces don't leave you feeling better than this bright coloured scenics packed account of troubled fat kid Gennaro Guazzo orphaned by his dad's crowd surfing accident and put into therapy with Dot. Luigi Esposito who he tries to set up as a match for his lush widowed mother red head Serena Rossi while moving on his impossibly out of his league young class mate. Determinedly Neapolitan with the shot of the girl sitting alone on the beach a great piece of movie punctuation. Gennaro Guazzo and writer Gianluca Ansanelli worked on POLI OPPOSTI. This is better.
