Featured reviews
An American in Italy is so cliché.
Susanna Skaggs as Lina is completely relatable. One could feel the emotions she's going through as she learns more about her mom and herself. Some scenes might feel cliche but it doesn't mean the film isn't worth your time.
Older people will find this film as enjoyable as they reminisce their young life with all its promise and disappointment.
Rome will always be romantic; and a cultural gem. Watching this film reminds me of a vibrant, pulsating city that I once called home.
Did you know
- TriviaThe book is set in Florence, Italy instead of Rome. Additionally, Lina stayed in a house with a view of a cemetery, instead of the city skyline.
- GoofsFrancesca is seen aggressively driving around in Fiat 500e Cabrio. You can hear the engine running at high rpm, in reality this is an electric vehicle and would barely make any noise.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Lina Emerson: [narrating] My mother had told me about a saying in Italy. "Il primo amore si scora mai." You never forget your first love. The irony is, she never mentioned anything about love in her life. Or even Italy, for that matter, until literally the last minute. Like it was all a big mystery or something. Which, it turns out, I guess it kind'a was.
