I started watching this movie only because I am learning Italian and this is one of the very few Italian movies on Netflix (in Turkey). I did not have any expectations and I only knew Benedetta Porcaroli from Baby series. The first half an hour, it was quite boring and I had to give it a break. But when I turned it on again, the rest was completely a fantastic drama...

I watched it crying multiple times, smiling like a silly in some moments, with a curiosity for the last gift, and it was completely worth to wait. Learning that it is inspired from a truestory that is also referenced in the movie, I couldn't keep myself from crying one more time. Nothing extraordinary but a great drama.

Like other posts, the beginning was abit of a drag and I was tempted to change it but too lazy to get the remote so I left it playing...so glad I did! This movie had me ugly crying...the moments she missed out on. As someone who missed out on growing up with a parent, it did resonate with me. Lovely movie.

Everything in this film was so stunning! The characters didnt have to cry or act miserably asking for sympathy. It seems to me that this movie is best to watch at 3 to 4am when we feel most calm and need something tranquil yet exquisite to engulf in.

I would have given this a 10 but it wasn't quite perfect. It was, however, a glorious, emotionally wonderful, film. It reminded me of The Night of the Shooting Stars, in a way. It struck me deeply in how loving and tender it, and everyone in it, was. The pure sensuality of the Italian culture pervaded it all.

I don't expect this kind of story at all. I have turn this movie on and I was working on my computer, I expect to be a boring movie, but it was not the case. and i have closed the computer and watched the whole movie. there is too bad that is not have more to the story, i know it's based on a true story but even so I would like to see more. about the casting, everyone is amazing Every one of them.
