My Brilliant Friend

There are no words to describe this gem. This series hits you deeply in your heart like no other. So many authentic feelings,i was deeply moved. I've never seen such intensity,duration,acting,adaptation even in the old gems of Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De sica.

A million thanks to the producers,the exceptional director Saverio Costanzo and director Alice Rohrwacher,the two unbelievable little girls/protagonists (i think Ludovica Nasti and Elisa del Genio),the two again unbelievable main protagonists Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace,of course Elena Ferrante, and to all the crew and members of this magnificent accomplishment.

This was one of the best things I have watched on HBO in a long time. So special - I couldn't get enough and was so sad when it was over. In an age when everyone is making super hero and action movies, this is so refreshing and brilliant. The characters are so well developed and almost haunting. The settings so pure and simple that it is genius. This is real storytelling at it's finest.

It's raw and magical at the same time. I would say that it is a breath of fresh air among epic fantasy, Sci-Fi, hyperrealism and other subgenres popular nowdays. It is a beautiful coming-of-age story. Young actors are shockingly good in their roles. I have seen only three episodes, but I hope it will only get better with time.

The perfection of this masterpiece breaks my heart. I fell in love with its every detail. From the very beginning of the story I knew this show is something special. With the sweetness of marvelous Italian it flusters your mind making you live the story with the characters And music, such a wonderful soundtrack. Just watch it, taste it.

They understood the source material. Acting and mood also impecable
