    Another wonderful role for De Niro to add to his collection. The grandfather here is especially cute, the plot with the journey to the children perfectly contributes to this. The feast scene perfectly prepares for the gorgeous finale, beautifully and lyrically presented. Then all that remains is to shed tears

    I haven’t seen anything so crude in a long time. The creators tried, but it came out too moralistic – the moral alone was voiced at least three times. All the accents/details are obvious, but they were also additionally spoken towards the end. Not a film, but a social video for an hour and a half.

    with Robert De Niro, a high-quality remake of the film "They’re doing fine Stanno tutti bene" (1990), but the original is undoubtedly better with the inimitable Marcello Mastroianni. For this comparison 7 out of 10

    A touching story about family ties and the ability to accept loved ones as they are. De Niro’s performance, as always, is imbued with sincerity and brings tears to your eyes.

    This story really touched my soul, how much their life is shown from the parents’ point of view and how they see their children, it really touched me, that family is the most important thing we have.
