An excellent script and performances make this a standout romantic comedy worthy of international release

An excellent script, performances and direction make this a vastly better crafted, believable and more entertaining movie than most romantic comedies. Even the lesser characters, like the poor divorced Simone, are convincingly and charmingly portrayed.

Had this been a US release, in English and with distribution monopolies on its side, it would be at least as famous as all the Colin Firth/Renee Zellweger/Julia Roberts equivalents. Because it really is a surprisingly good film of its genre.

Well done.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
