Plot

A film director deals with her mother's illness.

Sinekatalog’s take

Nanni Moretti's gentle drama follows a film director juggling her mother's illness and a chaotic shoot with John Turturro. Funny and tender, with Margherita Buy excellent, it is a wise, personal meditation on loss.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
