    Good Performance by Actors/Actresses

    The performances are exceptional, with the actors delivering heartfelt portrayals that evoke empathy and hope. The cinematography captures the confined atmosphere of the nursing home, emphasizing the characters' isolation.

    "Golia" approaches sensitive subjects with sensitivity and grace. It prompts reflection on the inherent value and dignity of every individual, challenging societal norms. The gradual storytelling allows for a deep connection with the characters. The film strikes a balance between heavy subject matter and moments of tenderness, offering a well-rounded viewing experience.,,,,

    resilience of the human spirit

    The Main actor was good, He exploration of memory, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit feels somewhat superficial, lacking in-depth introspection and examination. The emotional weight of losing touch with reality could have been further emphasized to create a more profound and resonant narrative.

    The performances in "Golia" are heartfelt, but at times, the characters feel underdeveloped, leaving the audience longing for more depth and complexity. Pietro De Silva was my favorite among them. Thought-provoking themes and portrays the struggles of its characters with sincerity and greatness.

    Why this movie is getting a good rating? A critical aspect

    "Golia" is a touching film that explores the struggles of Golia, a former rugby champion with dementia, and Alessandro, a paraplegic ex-professor. The story revolves around Golia's daily awakening, believing he is still with his team, only to confront the reality of residing in a nursing home, isolated from his family. Alessandro, driven by a final ambition, aims to defy the notion that their illnesses define their social worth by liberating Golia and reuniting him with his loved ones.

    The film delves into themes of memory, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit. It skillfully portrays the emotional weight of losing touch with reality and the transformative power of compassion in transcending physical limitations.

    The actors' performances are outstanding!!!!

    The film's strength lies in its exploration of themes such as memory, identity, and the human spirit. Through Golia's struggle with dementia, the narrative sheds light on the emotional toll of losing touch with one's own reality. Alessandro's determination to break Golia out of the nursing home showcases the power of compassion and the potential for human connection to transcend physical limitations.

    The performances are outstanding, with the actors immersing themselves in their roles and delivering heartfelt portrayals. While the film tackles heavy subject matter, it also offers moments of tenderness and lightness, providing a well-rounded viewing experience. It prompts reflection on how society can better support and uplift individuals facing similar challenges.
