Movie Reviews of Italian for Beginners
Movie Review: Wisful, Loving Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched the DVD last night and absolutely loved the simplicity with which it was shot, the character development, seeing a small slice of Danish culture.. It was real and thoughtful. As I watched, I found myself comparing differences in the way Americans and Danes have casual conversations, though also one of the things I enjoyed was how very meaningful conversations could happen just as simply, but without losing any depth. I liked every single character, each of whom was so different. There is also subtle humor that creeps up on you, but doesn't distract you from what follows those moments. It is a lovely little movie and I would recommend it.Movie Review: If you love romantic stories...
Summary: 5 Stars
then this movie is not to be missed. Real people, ordinary people, are much more interesting than the so-called beautiful people. And how they interact in the ordinary moments in life and how they fall in love can be wonderful to watch. Contrary to what I read from another review a moment ago, I think this movie is extraordinarily uplifting! If you're a sentimental old fool like I am, you'll probably get a tear as the movie ends with the song "Don't you know?" playing in the background, as did I. What a lovely movie!!!! I just rented the VHS version but the DVD edition is going on my Christmas list--I want to OWN this film!Movie Review: This is real life!!

By reading the other reviews, I can see that I was ahead of the game as I already knew that this was not an Italian movie about sexy women! This was my third Dogme movie and in my opinion, the best. It takes me a few seconds to forget that handheld cameras are in use.
I love the respectful way these people are presented despite all their "faults". Whether it's an extraordinarily clumsy person, a shy middle-aged bachelor or a lonely priest, you can feel that the director isn't out to ridicule anyone.
It's touching, sad, sweet and REAL and I'll be watching it again and again.
Movie Review: response to Peter Lorenzi
Summary: 5 Stars
I like "Hollywood movies" just as much as the next person, I like the fact that the good guy always wins, and that romantic comedies are full of just that...romance and comedy. But as a movie lover, I enjoy and love foreign film. For the most part, foreign films seperate from the fantasy world Hollywood lives in, and portray life more like real life. Italian for beginners is a wonderful movie, a little weird as to the way it's filmed, but very good. I rented this movie and now own a copy; I recommend you do the same.Movie Review: Truly wonderful!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Italian For Beginners is a fantastic film, I don't see why people seem to have a problem with it. It's a movie for people who like movies and aren't bothered by things as ridiculous as the fact that it is shot with a video camera instead of on film. The script is engrossing, the characters are charming, and the locations beautiful. Don't listen to the negative comments and give this delightful little film a chance. It certainly deserves it.
