As virtual tourism, it's a success but as dramatic fare it's a distinctly thin bowl of zuppa.

Liam Lacey
Globe and Mail
A disaster area, pure and simple.

Tim Robey
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ozpetek takes these men and women as they are, revealing deep emotions in broad strokes. Everyone here is a disappointed misfit, not just the loose cannons in the clan.

Nick Hasted
Little White Lies
This Italian coming-out comedy has a neat central narrative gimmick. Unfortunately, it hasn't got a lot else.

Leo Robson
Financial Times
Openly gay Turkish film director Ferzan Ozpetek has never been nelly about scattering characters of his own persuasion throughout his oeuvre. . . .Here he again explores the plight of closeted homosexuals in a gentle farce full of fond stereotypes.

The film is beautifully shot and set in Lecce, in Puglia, so breathtaking scenery is an important character.

It's bright and smart and ultimately surprisingly moving.

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
It's nicely performed and reasonably amusing but it's hard to care about the rather self-absorbed characters and their cloistered universe.

Henry Fitzherbert
Daily Express (UK)
Ozpetek could have trimmed some of the sub-plots, but it's broadly amusing (especially when our hero's camp pals pitch up) and the performances are as warm as the southern setting.
