Marilyn ha gli occhi neri

I loved this film - it was funny (that guy with the pretend earpiece, especially) and heartfelt. I'm not sure why it's scored so low - I can only think that those who watched it in another language, didn't watch it with subtitles and perhaps watched it with dubbing (why anyone ever does that, I don't know). If you're going to watch it, please watch it with subbies, if you don't speak Italian.

Anyway, of course the total plot is a bit implausible - like about 90% of movies, the plot is implausible, but isn't that why we watch them? If it was like any old group therapy session, with the daily grind of people's lives, who'd watch it as a movie? God, that would be so boring!

Let yourself go and watch this lovely movie.

This movie is very fun and moving, and Miriam Leone and Stefano Accorsi are absolutely amazing , some moments are so funny, but others moment are very sad. In conclusion this movie is a little gem.

"Marylin's Eyes" ("Marilyn ha gli occhi neri") is this year's biggest surprise on Netflix so far. The RomCom made me laugh, love and cry with it's adorable story dealing with psychiatric disorders, a wonderful cast and its very humanist approach. Of course the Italian flavor makes it perfect for me. Good food, precision, passion and heavy gesticulations are ever present.

Miriam Leone is such a charme as the notorious liar "Clara". The way she acts and uses her facial expressions is extremly appealing. Funnily she played in 2019's short "A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn" and here we see her again for a Marylin scene. But I am not going to tell more at this point.

Stefano Accorsi is her perfect love interest as the feisty "Diego". He managed to weave tics in his performance, which is a thing of his role. The rest of the cast is also acting it out. Really this film is a humble nod to humanity and the flaws we are dealing with. It makes you love the world a bit more. I never experienced this strong emotions with American actors in the past few years, so please give this Italian production a try.

It's a movie that I think should be watched. Simplicity of life is prioritized in the film. In a life where we cannot choose what we will live, it is necessary to be prepared for many things, and the most important thing is to try to be happy by accepting it. That's the mark the movie left on me.

Excellent idea, great actors (Accordi and Leoni are just marvelous) and fine direction...very under rated, this movie deserve at least 7-7,5 Recommended.
