Zurlini manages a disciplined balance that turns Girl With a Suitcase into a cohesive work, exploiting styles to deliver a truly emotional and sincere portrait of socio-economic clashes.

Vernon Young

RTFilm QuarterlyJan 17, 2024

Zurlini’s direction is at its best when by keeping his camera high in the intimate scenes he catches the little mobilities of social mannerism and reveals the personal hesitant explorations of the pair.
