Quotes

“A coming-of-age drama with a stealthy emotional charge that further enhances the writer-director's reputation as a gifted practitioner of Italian neo-neorealism.” David Rooney - The Hollywood Reporter “With the presence of Martin Scorsese as an executive producer, this polished semi-sequel to “Mediterranea”…. will doubtless boost Carpignano’s already fast-rising profile on the festival and arthouse circuit.” Guy Lodge - Variety "A Ciambra …. secures the U.S.-educated, Italy-based Carpignano's profile as an astute practitioner of modern-day neorealism.” Sheri Linden - The Los Angeles Times
