Dripping with charm
Absolutely dripping with charm, swoon-worthy 1970s Italian style and dreamy Mad Men-esque imagery. Despite the depressing domestic reality for Penélope Cruz’s character and her family, director Emanuele Crialese still makes space for wholesome childhood memories between the brutal sexism and heartbreaking gender dysphoria in this touching autobiographical flick.
