Reviews
“It is a dry comedy of grief and regret which wears its dreamy melancholy and ennui like a well-tailored if fussily old-fashioned suit, and it returns Sorrentino to the various mysterious tableaux of political power.”
— Peter Bradshaw, The Guardin
“Servillo, who deservedly won the Volpi Cup for best actor at Venice film festival in 2025, gives one of his most controlled performances. His character accumulates through the smallest movements.”
— Tara Brady, Irish Times
