Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Sheri LindenThe elegiac Spettacolo is in some ways a familiar story, revolving around the universal tug of war between time and tradition.
Nonfics - 9/10 by Christopher CampbellYou'll probably never forget this extraordinary town. But the film itself is largely unmemorable.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Simi HorwitzAn evocative but not fully fleshed-out documentary about a theatrical tradition that's lasted for half a century and may be coming to an end in a Tuscany village.
NOW Toronto - 8/10 by Norman WilnerSpettacolo may not have the structural ingenuity of the filmmakers' previous work, but as a contemplation of identity and the value and comfort people find in telling their own stories, it makes for an engaging, entirely absorbing experience.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Vikram MurthiAlthough Spettacolo is thoughtful and charming throughout, it’s mildly disappointing that the film doesn’t further engage with the self-reflexivity of the annual event itself.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Nick AllenIt is a touching document of seemingly regular people who yearn to keep an artistic tradition alive.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Gary GoldsteinTheater lovers and Italophiles alike should savor the documentary Spettacolo.
Arts Fuse - 8/10 by Betsy ShermanAs sobering as all this sounds, the movie is not a downer. There's so much to admire in the players' creativity and courage to speak their minds.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Bilge EbiriIs this art or is this prophecy? Is there even a difference?
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Christopher GrayThough some of Spettacolo's tension is superficial, the stuff of any let’s-put-on-a-show narrative, its latent anxieties are myriad and profoundly resonant.
