Picciridda - Con i piedi nella sabbia

It's a well done movie. It is slow, so be prepared for that.

I'm an actual, American man, and this movie did make me feel like a little Italian girl from the period that it is set in. That's pretty good.

The casting was impeccable.

There is a lot more that I would like to write about this film, but no spoilers from me.

What a movie! He starts slowly with a bit of drama, rolls and then runs into the storm !!!

The film deals with a lot of female characters and an insight into the destinies they carry.

This movie is so powerful.

Yes, it's slow in spots, but you must connect with the characters to enjoy it.

I found it amazing. The little girl comes to terms with her situation, her growing into adulthood, and a certain relative she shouldn't have trusted. In the end, she learns the truth about her family's 'other side' and seeks the strength to move on.

I loved it.

A great coming of age story set in a stunningly filmic location, "Picciridda" is a cheerful, life-affirming film, a disarming mixture of charm and brutality. The beauty of Favignana, an island off western Sicily, in the turquoise Mediterranean Sea is simply extraordinary. Licata did a wonderful work with his actors. Picciridda is a strong debut. Highly recommended!

This was a very beautiful film. I highly recommend watching it.
