More a record of a performance than a satisfying cinema experience. Go to Full Review Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 02/21/2020
It may well be the definitive biopic of Antonio Ligabue, Italy's celebrated Naïve painter and sculptor, whose unfortunate story comes roaring to life. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 02/21/2020

Watching Hidden Away is like eating a rich and heavy meal, which is delicious a lot of the time. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 07/19/2023
Falls into pleasant imagery and narrative as the movie becomes linear, matching the protagonist's emotional state as he finds peace. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe 03/04/2020
Art awakens humanity, no less so in Giorgio Diritti's Hidden Away. His biopic of 20th century Italian painter Antonio Liguabue is a tender, impressionistic look at a man who overcame physical and psychiatric ailments. Go to Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily 03/03/2020

Philip C @RT90196371 06/25/2024 Great performances by the two protagonist, linear and deep emotional. See more andrea c @Charst 12/06/2021 Strepitoso Elio Germano, un piacere per gli occhi vederlo recitare. Probabilmente alla migliore interpretazione della carriera, nel difficilissimo compito di portare sullo schermo una personalità complessa ed incomprensibile come quella di Antonio Ligabue. La sceneggiatura è creata per dare risalto alle sue capacità di attore, e questo forse ne limita lo sviluppo di una trama più profonda; ma questa è stata la scelta evidente dei produttori.

Thankfully, real life circumstances eased up, if only incrementally, for Ligabue. An incredible performance and some soaring cinematography. Full on. See more Read all reviews
