I have watched Gianna several times on both the big screen and at film festivals. The movie has a captivating plot and extremely talented cast and crew. I could not take my eyes off the screen throughout the movie and noticed additional subtle details each time I watched it. As a member of an Italian American family, I found the characters and storyline to be authentic and relatable. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard during a movie. Brooke Linsalata is a talented writer, director, and actress. I have enjoyed watching all of her movies, and I look forward to her future must see movies.

It's nice to see a movie that is so refreshing! There's a sweetness and charm about it. It has a lovely story with some really funny scenes in it, especially with Gianna's guy friends. The path to love isn't easy for anyone, and this film shows that more realistically than most. The cast was well-chosen and gelled together nicely.

I got to see the director, Brooke Linsalata, on set as she directed the actors. She was so sweet and kind as she interacted with everyone, and was a dear to everyone even though scenes needed to be redone and the inevitable setbacks occurred. She's going to be quite a star in the film world... I have no doubt. I can't wait to see what she puts out next. My guess is that the best is yet to come!!

Gianna is a heartwarming film full of young love and the pressures of everyday life. A great film to help you relax and feel cozy, it is perfect to watch when you're in the mood for a classic piece of Americana.

Realistic and down to earth; even with the slow burn type romance there are dashes of excitement that keep Gianna interesting and upbeat. It can easily become a wholesome family classic, as who can resist a classic coming of age story like this one? It's simply perfect. Easy to digest. Dreamy. Unforgettable. You'll be dreaming of having experiences like Gianna's romance even before you fall asleep at night.

Brooke is an upcoming artist full of inspiration and talent; as she wrote, produced and stars in the film. It will be exciting to see what her future projects will be, and looking forward to seeing more of her on the big screen!

When everything is crazy in this world Gianna takes you away to better days. It's clever writing somehow takes the weight of the world off your shoulders for a moment in time to enjoy the story of finding your person and the experiences that come along with it. It is funny and hopeful without losing authenticity that we crave in the simple things in life. This movie is the kind of movie you could watch with friends, your partner, your parents and even your grandparents! It really has something that anyone could relate to, especially the modern American Italian family. This story sucks you in and leaves you wondering how her next chapter works out as well!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the film Gianna. She takes you through the struggles of growing up. It had me cracking up with some of the dates Gianna went on. I loved how those scenes where written. Brooke Linsalata did a great job showing us Gianna's life. I was so intrigued by the characters. The playfulness of her friends, who were like brothers.

I was able to see this film on the big screen and it was fantastic. It did not disappoint at all. I would love to see what Gianna is doing now. I highly recommend if you're looking for a touching romantic comedy. I can't wait to see what Brooke will produce next!!
