Critics' reviews
- "Moviegoers of a certain age may feel as though they are watching a lost Bertolucci film."
- "Petraglia and Rulli once again display their gift for bringing the texture of reality to family drama, for creating people and situations that involve us completely."
- "Intelligent, well-acted movie."
- "Ripe, ferociously acted comic drama."
- "A provocative character study and portrait of the times."
- "Although the movie never quite dispels the sense of being dated (it could have been made anytime in the past 40 years), it's a memorable, often moving timepiece."
- "Thanks to the captivating performances, this is well worth checking out."
