Io e Spotty

Eva and Matteo are two young people who are struggling with life: Eva is a law student who is feeling a lot of pressure to do well, but does not like the path she has taken. Matteo is an anti-social cartoonist: he is extremely gifted, but also very depressed and not able to socialise with people in a normal way. They meet unconventionally and find that actually they can help each other feel better.

This film is very sweet in its simplicity, it deals with hard topics in a soft way. I really loved the setting and the photography. Despite this something is missing, the story is rather absurd at times and the dialogues seem a bit surreal.

As it is an independent film I really recommend watching it: it is definetely not a masterpiece, but it is very sweet and it makes the audience feel good.

Film with a very nice incipit that wants to tell the discord of two people who seem normal from the outside, but live a profound discomfort inside. The film is very beautiful and sweet and tries to tell a story of mutual change in a complete and successful way where two people crushed by the world around them help each other almost involuntarily. The film has a great scope but makes a mistake in the ending because it closes only one story, that of Spotty, while the story of the female protagonist is left in the background and doesn't really end, it just leaves us thinking that things have improved but not he tells us and that's a shame in a film that otherwise would have been practically perfect.
