The two child actors are wonderful, but Amelio is so absorbed with formal composition and slow, self-conscious pacing that his film feels drained.

Here is a movie with the spontaneity of life; watching it is like living it.

RTAboutFilm.comSep 8, 2004

A sublime movie in the neorealist tradition, in which man helps two damaged children discover, for a few days, the childhood that has been denied them.
