18 regali

I would have given this a 10 but it wasn't quite perfect. It was, however, a glorious, emotionally wonderful, film. It reminded me of The Night of the Shooting Stars, in a way. It struck me deeply in how loving and tender it, and everyone in it, was. The pure sensuality of the Italian culture pervaded it all.

A very loving look at the pain of not growing up with a mother. Creative story telling of how the daughter heals that wound.

I don't expect this kind of story at all. I have turn this movie on and I was working on my computer, I expect to be a boring movie, but it was not the case. and i have closed the computer and watched the whole movie. there is too bad that is not have more to the story, i know it's based on a true story but even so I would like to see more. about the casting, everyone is amazing Every one of them.

Like other posts, the beginning was abit of a drag and I was tempted to change it but too lazy to get the remote so I left it playing...so glad I did! This movie had me ugly crying...the moments she missed out on. As someone who missed out on growing up with a parent, it did resonate with me. Lovely movie.

Do we take too much time to reflect or even overthink not just our existence but the way we live and what we do? What could have been and how life has treated us unfairly ... so unfairly. All that time that we could have used actually living, wasted on complaining, being bitter and just not appreciating life for what it is.

Now you could call a person that is being bitter a spoiled brat. Or you could try to understand or find out why that is. In this case the "nutcase" (bitter person) gets a reality check ... and an awakening. No pun intended, but after the inciting incident ... things are not the same. Actually the main character does a journey. Now is it fantasy, did it really happen, what could have made this happen? If it did how, if it didn't .. again how would she make this up? But these are things that are almost nonconsequential! More important is to understand the message ... and embrace it.

The actors are doing a phenomenal job. Nothing comes easy, no revelation is just there for the picking. It has to be earned. And it does - fantastical and interesting to say the least if you can bend your mind around it
