Paolo Virzì’s drama is a critical look at economic and social divisions in modern Italy. It challenges the stability of capitalist and family structures using a fragmented narrative. However, the film’s scope is limited when it comes to representing diverse identities such as LGBTQ+, racial, and disability experiences. Its strength lies in its cultural critique of societal structures.
