Probably haunted by the limelight of her star parents or out of boredom or just for fun, Chiara Mastroianni decides to literally become her father until she doesn't want to. She is a little hesitant at the beginning, but then lives into this role and frees herself from other people's expectations of her. She leaves her apartment and her adventure begins. She has a lot of fun, meets old and new people and animals, juggles various languages and it looks like she's enjoying every moment. From what I can see, the whole picture is a beautiful tribute to Mastroianni's life, personality and his acting career. The film is light, though not without a touch of sadness - he is definitely missed by his family. And by us. I believe the actors and the crew had a lot of fun while shooting Marcello Mio. One can feel it from the atmosphere of Paris, and Rome, the singing (we must remember it's an Honoré film!) and the allusions to Mastroianni's films.

Beautiful, light, funny, delicate and personal.
