How well do we really know ourselves when we make a decision? What if there were multiple versions of ourselves, each with its own opinion? Madly is a delightful romantic comedy that goes beyond appearances, diving into the minds of the two main characters, Piero and Lara, and revealing their most hidden thoughts and the inner battles that we all face.

3.5/5

The script cleverly bounces between the two real people, drinking wine and eating [lasagna], and their interior monologues. It’ll make any viewer think about where they went wrong on a date.

...the film is hit-and-miss: cinematographer Fabrizio Lucci knows how to light a set, but the editing is on the haphazard side, when the material demands an abstract neatness.

The high-concept romantic comedy is ripe for reinvention in a diverse range of languages and cultures. If and when that happens, however, one hopes each new filmmaker will make strides to improve the story in the retelling.

4.5/5

One of the best romantic comedies that I have seen in a long time. Avoids cliches and has some brilliantly written witty dialogue.

The idea of turning inner voices into real people is amusing. I believe it’s impossible not to let out at least one burst of laughter at some point during the film. Edoardo Leo is very good in the role, and all the other actors deliver good performances as well.

An hilarious journey through a first date scenario all too familiar for most of us. Great script, acting and musical score … the ‘voices’ version of Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’ is well worth the encore during the credits! A fun movie with plenty to offer.

The live-action romantic Inside Out, transforms a small moment into nuanced and vivid narrative beats; the characters are distinct yet complementary, each portrayed with remarkable depth; the emotional expression is both subtle and richly layered.
