Movie Reviews of The Italian
Movie Review: A Superb Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Regardless of how accurately this film portrays the real circumstances of adoption in Russia, it is a totally absorbing cinematic experience, with a convincing portrayal of the ways children and teenagers actually respond to one another. Many of the children in the film, including some with speaking roles, are residents of a children's home near St. Petersburg.
But the main reason to see the film is the performance of the amazing Kolya Spiridonov in the lead role. He simply lights up the screen, and steals every scene he is in. I think it is one of the best performances by a child actor ever captured on film. Buy it!
Movie Review: Foreign Film, in RUSSIAN with English & Spanish subtitles
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many foreign films the subtitles often vanished before I could completely absorb the message. That being said, this movie IN RUSSIAN was a great story and the acting was really great. I also liked that they did not overdo the ending. I got to finish the small details the way I wanted them. This movie while it was in Russian did not in any way affect the drama, feelings and sympathy for those lost children we all know exist.Movie Review: a superb drama of a Russian orphanage
Summary: 5 Stars
A compelling drama of the terrible conditions in Russian orphanages and of Russian life in general but strangely hopeful. The lies, the filth, and the lack of even the basic necessities. would be shocking o the average American. I wonder if the booming energy sales have improved any of these conditions.Movie Review: Uplifting
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget about the setting. This is a movie about the courage, confidence and resilience of childhood. An astounding performance by the lead character and a magical tale full of hope.Movie Review: Russian movies are different.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is from Russia and we both enjoyed the movie. It sure will bring a tear to your eyes. That little kid is so strong, he has your heart with him all the way through the movie.
