Pointing out that the movie is independent, the plot is non linear and not in a temporary manner but mostly with lackness. Having said so all orbits around the main character but I found the more profound reflections after the movie coming from the other characters although only marginally represented in the movie. Why Hallam is trying to cope with personal tragedy, people around him, who are initially depicted as careless, are in fact giving him space trying to keep an eye on him from distance, understanding that it's a phase. Only their love can justify the unstoppable abuse he is making of them. So it is about grief and forgiveness.

Another Moretti typical setting so plenty of Rome and silences, rich houses and spoiled people. Yet it is not forcibly filled with Italian stereotypes. Nanni Moretti is still bringing realism to the table. The move is interesting and can be seen just following along the plot without paying much attention but I am convinced there are different level of interpretation and maybe it's personal based on each one relation to a character or a situation.

After reflecting upon it, I come to the conclusion that the movie is about psychology. All the main characters have an obsession that profoundly affect their lives and their beloved ones.

This subtle fil rouge is worth all the movie.
