Wow, what a movie I just watched.

I've never felt the need to rate a movie or write a review, but this one got me hooked.

Everyone heard at least once that "life is too short to be stuck doing what you don't find fulfilling or meaningful" or "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" or something similar and you usually nod and continue doing the same things. And there's a time when you finally understand how short life is. You look in the mirror and you know what you have to do.

This is a simple and powerful story, delivered in a brilliant, delicate way.

If you are in your thirties, in your forties, even in your fifties, you will relate to this one. Go and watch it, while there's still time.

This movie is the best movie i have recently watched. Explains how time passes by and there is nothing we can do once it's passed. So take your time, live in now. Because now is all you have. Never procrastinate important things such as family, love, having a pet. Learn what's important in life and put other things always aside. This movie hits really different when you are on your late twenty's and you haven't even realized how the time passed after 18. It's even much worse when you start to lose beloved ones one by one as they get older. Passed three years i lost my two very close people and after that i had realized the time is worth to spend only with your loved ones. Make more memories, and live in now.

Initially, this movie appears to be based on the familiar concept of time travel (loops), but is made in a brilliant and original way. Movies that make you reflect on your own life and motivates you to actually change are rare. This movie is certainly one of those rare jewels, focusing on the importance of living in the present and caring for family and friends, rather than being self-centered and selfish. Workaholics would benefit from seeing this movie. The weakness of the movie is that it took the main character too long time to understand that he needed to change, in particular to free up time to spend with family and friends.

Watching this movie really struck a chord with me. In life, we often only feel regret when we look back. Dante, portrayed by Edoardo Leo, felt like a reflection of people around me, and even myself. He was blinded by the perspective of self-responsibility, working at the company for a paycheck but enduring criticism. He chose to focus on his career, thinking it would secure the future for his family. Beatrice Ronchi's character, Alice, on the other hand, was a loving wife who worked hard to maintain the warmth in their marriage.

I believe that the choices made in the moment have no clear right or wrong; it's only with time that we come to understand the consequences. The plot cleverly and swiftly depicts Dante's extramarital affair, but his regrets become evident through his expressions and subsequent choices. This makes me remind myself that while the source of income may seem practical in society, the future of a family depends on the mutual understanding and effort of both partners, rather than one escaping outwardly while the other waits silently.

A simple film, but so full of meaning!

Script not very original if you will, but this particular reinterpretation of yesterday, today and tomorrow works very well. I happened to identify with Edoardo Leo's main character and so many tears flowed.

The whole movie rotates around thoughts and things not said, accompanied by a never invasive and always on point soundtrack.

A film that looks simple but instead leaves you with so many questions and food for thought. I recommended the view to anyone who wants to take 2 hours out of the various routines of life and dedicate them to "doing nothing" 😊
