Movie Reviews

Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawThe torture and execution scenes are harrowing and moving.
Independent (UK) - 10/10 by Geoffrey MacnabAldo Fabrizi excels as the courageous priest and there are few films that have a finale as heartbreaking.
Times (UK) - 10/10 by Kate MuirThe neo-realist film's genius lies in a slow undertow, inexorably dragging the audience from laughter to tears.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Oleg IvanovRoberto Rossellini's film owes part of its emotional power to its mixture of politico-religious symbolism and quotidian humor.

Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Mark KermodeUbaldo Arata's visceral cinematography blends the grit of a documentary with the heart and soul of a drama (Fellini collaborated on the screenplay) as the people of Rome wrestle with the constraints, compromises and collusions of life during wartime.

Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealTthe lasting impact of Rossellini's work is incalculable.
