Made in Italy

"A treacly slog with a screenplay that fails the storied talent of its elder lead, and the promising gifts of his younger counterpart."

"Liam Neeson and his real-life son Micheál Richardson bring a personal sense of love and loss to this otherwise mawkish tale of grief and healing, Italian style."

"For a movie that's supposedly meant to lift us off our couches and set us down in a verdant dreamscape, this limp foreign-soil fantasy from James D'Arcy doesn't come close to getting the job done."

"A clumsy, clichéd rom-com."

"With a gorgeous location, pretty people and familiar story... it's too gentle to make an impression"

"Some movies can get away with just being a scenery sandwich, a few fat slabs of gorgeous vistas with a sliver of plot slipped in between. Made in Italy is that kind of movie."

"Honestly, if you're thinking of going, my advice would be to stay home with the people you love, get yourself a couple of sock puppets and drink a load of cheap wine fast."

"Mawkish and predictable, James D’Arcy’s filmmaking debut, about an estranged father and son, falls short of its melodramatic ambitions."

"It feels almost churlish to fault the film for its weightlessness, when light is exactly what movies like this are meant to provide: a fizzy, sun-drenched escape from the pale monotony of our own lives. Except that it so often fails to fizz..."

"Very easy watching. It feels like classic European cinema with locations and food that will have you planning your next holiday… whenever that may be."
