ANTI Reviews
|
| | Beneath the schmaltz lie buried a lot of good ideas... Ennio Morricone's score reinforces the sugary sentiment that defaxces the film. | | | | (Variety) | | Toto, adorable for three minutes, is encouraged to mug, mime, and make cute until I wanted to throttle the wee thing. What should be delicate and understated is almost always too explicit. Tornatore's rule of thumb seems to be: when in doubt, go for the obvious... [It] does have its moments (my eyes were occasionally moist)... If you have a tolerance for schmaltz, you should see [it] just for the potential movie, the one you invent in your head. | | | | (Georgia Brown, Village Voice) | | Alfredo's mystical sagacity is implausible, and the infant Salvatore (Cascio) is too cutely precocious by half. | | | | (Geoff Andrew, Time Out) |
