Marilyn ha gli occhi neri

Marilyn's Eyes is a good watch, one that will make you think about how we perceive people around us. It's humorous, original and dramatic. Overall, it's a great watch.

There's a hidden world out there. A world of forgotten people. Marginalized. People that can give much more if we could see through for once. Superb acting by the main characters. Stefano Accorsi and Myriam Leone are some of the best Italian contemporary actors and Netflix choice to produce the movie is a winning decision.

Good or very good acting performances by the 3 leads. Unfortunately the storyline is unoriginal and the plot unplausible.

Slow, unfunny and only slightly poignant towards the end, isn't able to capitalize on the setting, preferring to stay politically correct and superficial.

Pity.

I loved this film - it was funny (that guy with the pretend earpiece, especially) and heartfelt. I'm not sure why it's scored so low - I can only think that those who watched it in another language, didn't watch it with subtitles and perhaps watched it with dubbing (why anyone ever does that, I don't know). If you're going to watch it, please watch it with subbies, if you don't speak Italian.

Anyway, of course the total plot is a bit implausible - like about 90% of movies, the plot is implausible, but isn't that why we watch them? If it was like any old group therapy session, with the daily grind of people's lives, who'd watch it as a movie? God, that would be so boring!

Let yourself go and watch this lovely movie.

It's a movie that I think should be watched. Simplicity of life is prioritized in the film. In a life where we cannot choose what we will live, it is necessary to be prepared for many things, and the most important thing is to try to be happy by accepting it. That's the mark the movie left on me.
