    Disgusting Sexualisation

    The extreme sexualisation of several scenes destroy what could've been an otherwise cute comedy movie. The movie has too many nude scenes which aren't needed at all. Monica Bellucci could've easily attracted audience and charmed her way through the movie without any of the nudity.

    What could've been a really cute weekend fun movie turns into a mix up of overly disturbing scenes that leaves you with a feeling of thoughts like "was that really neccessary?".

    Monica has the face of an angel and that would've been more than enough to carry this movie which had a simple and fun story. The dirty scenes really broke the flow of the movie.

    Good film - Far too much nudity

    La Riffa is a good film - However the film storyline is heavily controlled by plot that Monica Bellucci is nude in which lasts for about 7-10 minutes across the whole film. Other than that I really enjoyed it. Additionally, I felt that Monica Bellucci put on a great performance, I am not big fan of nudity which is why I didn't give it a 8 or 9 however if u watch the pg version its easily a good film.

    A Mix of Drama, Desire, and Moral Dilemmas

    La riffa is a captivating Italian drama that blends sensuality with a bittersweet look at human motives. The story revolves around a widow who, after her husband's death, organizes a raffle with an unusual prize - herself - to secure a better future. The film balances emotional depth with moments of light humor, while exploring themes of desperation, independence, and social judgment. Its layered characters and engaging plot make it a memorable watch.

    La riffa

    The movie is so good. If you only understand its game. She (monica bellucci) sold all her assets after knowing that her husband died from an accident. Until he decided to sell her self as a raffle. The plot twist is kinda funny as well. The point of being or doing this movie is to show how her mind works at this kind of game especially from rich, 10/10 - movie 9/10- plot twist 10/10- characters 10/10- movie lines 8/10- comedy 8/10- drama People are sometimes bad mouthing the movie simply because they never ought to understand the deep meaning of the movie. So if i were you watch it and make your own review about the movie.

    This movie is bad!!

    I wanted to give this movie a chance but unfortunately I shouldn't. I find hard to think of a nice thing to say about it. The plot is not just weak,but impossible to take seriously,leading to many cringe worthy moments. The acting is extremely bad from pretty much everyone. Also, the directing was poor making the whole result even worse. However,I must admit that Monica Bellucci is gorgeous in almost every scene but that's the only good thing about the whole movie. Of course,that's not enough to make it an even bearable experience,as during the film I was really bored and I was tempted to turn it off. In my opinion, you won't miss anything if you don't watch that awful movie.
