    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.,,,,

    The actors' performances are outstanding!!!!

    The film's strength lies in its exploration of themes such as memory, identity, and the human spirit. Through Golia's struggle with dementia, the narrative sheds light on the emotional toll of losing touch with one's own reality. Alessandro's determination to break Golia out of the nursing home showcases the power of compassion and the potential for human connection to transcend physical limitations.

    The performances are outstanding, with the actors immersing themselves in their roles and delivering heartfelt portrayals. While the film tackles heavy subject matter, it also offers moments of tenderness and lightness, providing a well-rounded viewing experience. It prompts reflection on how society can better support and uplift individuals facing similar challenges.

    It's good, but it can be be better

    The cinematography of gol!a effectively captures the contrasting emotions of confinement and longing, but there are missed opportunities to fully explore the visual potential of the story.

    While the film could successfully addresses societal biases and challenges the dismissal of individuals based on their conditions, the plot could have delved deeper into the complexities of their struggles. Additionally, certain narrative elements felt predictable, diminishing the potential impact of certain scenes. The performances of actors are good, but it can be better and go on go with the flow, >>>>>>
