The filmmakers go to great lengths to create a sense of authenticity, to a fault. We are left to assume a lot about who is what and where they fit in Go to Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 10/07/2012

You won't find a much bigger Keitel fan than me, but not even the actor's patented brand of wide-eyed lunacy can save this one. Go to Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 04/30/2006

Juli M @RT20678323 Mar 19 I watched this because I like Harvey Keitel. Or I did, anyway. Cliche after cliche slogged through the muck of tediously predictable dialogue and storyline. One star for beautiful scenery, though. See more 10/13/2019 One of the worst movies I have ever seen, full of cliches. Harvey Keitel is probably ashamed that he acted in this movie. Rural Italy is not all in Tuscany and Italian people do NOT live the way that the Director would like you to believe. From 1 to 10 I give it a 0.5. Appalling. See more 04/23/2018 This movie, filmed in a stunningly beautiful small town in Italy, should have been much better. The plot was interesting but the execution was weakened by the use of melodramatic flares which became increasingly ridiculous as the movie progressed, weak acting by Joshua Jackson and overly flamboyant acting by Harvey Keitel. See more 06/05/2014 Slow but with a sweet message! See more 05/08/2014 it had the pieces. but it was put together very poorly. still had some charm though. that was mostly keitel. See more 05/02/2014 Pleasant but ordinary. Beautiful scenery. Good cast fails to elevate this movie beyond its predictable limitations. See more Read all reviews
