    Why this movie is getting a good rating? A critical aspect

    "Golia" is a touching film that explores the struggles of Golia, a former rugby champion with dementia, and Alessandro, a paraplegic ex-professor. The story revolves around Golia's daily awakening, believing he is still with his team, only to confront the reality of residing in a nursing home, isolated from his family. Alessandro, driven by a final ambition, aims to defy the notion that their illnesses define their social worth by liberating Golia and reuniting him with his loved ones.

    The film delves into themes of memory, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit. It skillfully portrays the emotional weight of losing touch with reality and the transformative power of compassion in transcending physical limitations.

    Good Performance by Actors/Actresses

    The performances are exceptional, with the actors delivering heartfelt portrayals that evoke empathy and hope. The cinematography captures the confined atmosphere of the nursing home, emphasizing the characters' isolation.

    "Golia" approaches sensitive subjects with sensitivity and grace. It prompts reflection on the inherent value and dignity of every individual, challenging societal norms. The gradual storytelling allows for a deep connection with the characters. The film strikes a balance between heavy subject matter and moments of tenderness, offering a well-rounded viewing experience.,,,,
