Critic Reviews for Lamerica
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
It's built on deceit but evolves into something more complex--a shared yearning that links the Italian past to the Italian present. Amelio's eloquent but unsentimental humanism asks us to reconsider our relationship to the wretched of the earth.
The film's intention is to put a human face on a complex situation, and while this is successful, it is the depth of the film's characters that draws the audience's empathy.
A mesmerizing film that will soften your heart towards the plight of refugees all over the world.
Chocked full of universal messages the director feels impelled to get across.
Audience Reviews for Lamerica
This film is incredible, to say the least. From start to finish, the film has an energy that continually draws the audience into the characters and forces them to see their point of view. Phenomenal visuals.
Super Reviewer
toccante viaggio per le strade del tempo che ha distrutto la fugace memoria del popolo. Ma, la lontana sperenza non mostra nessun segno de morte.
Super Reviewer
There's nothing wrong with it and it's a nice little story, but there's nothing memorable about it. Maybe I just couldn't connect with the subject matter.
