An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Monica Bellucci, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, first of all, Bellucci had a rather small part after all which was slightly disappointing. Anyway, eventually, even though I did appreciate the realistic approach, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing though. I mean, the lack of plot didn’t bother me, it was basically a slice-of-life type of movie which can be a fine genre but, in my opinion, it was above all about the boring life of a rather boring teenager. There was in fact a whole bunch of other characters, almost all family members of the main character, but not one of them was properly developed and, even worse, none of them was really interesting. At least, I have to admit that all the actors involved did deliver some solid performances but we hardly get to know them at all after all. For example, why did they speak a mix of three different languages (Italian, German and French)? Eventually, in my opinion, this cloud of mystery around all these characters was just a rather artificial way to make them seem more interesting than they actually were. And I won’t mention the pathetic cheap ass TV-show showing up towards the end. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it was a decent watch though and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
