Ill start saying that an applaude rose spontaneously in the theater at the end of the movie. Everyone one was super emotional, I believe each of them for different reasons. Mine is that the movie depicted perfectly the status of women just right after the end of 2WW and the challenges they had to face in everyday life. Something that feels so far way from now, but still not so far away considering all the injustices women nowadays have to live with in every aspect of their life.
Well, the protagonist tries really hard for find a balance dealing with a violent husband, multiple jobs, 3 children and an annoying father in law, but she also surrounds herself with good friends and women with strong personalities.
The pace of the film Is entertaining, great comedy moments, costumes very on point, and the use of the camera very intelligent (at one point, I even recognize an angle that reminded of a famous painting of the Mantegna , the Cristo Morto)
Beautiful selection of music as well.
But honestly what really made the film great and emotional, is the finale. It's worth going to the cinema to watch this movie just for this reason.
Obviously I'll not spoiler anything, but be ready to say: wow , what a great debut from Paola Cortellesi.
