-
Padre Padrone seems a botched opportunity at a great emotional experience, a potential but unrealized classic.
April 30, 2018 | Full Review… -
Despite its rebellious message, double allegory, and social analysis, Padre Padrone alienates viewers, leaving them cold, as if they were reading a good report about some well known social problems. [Full Review in Spanish]
July 26, 2019 | Full Review… -
There are some strikingly beautiful images, all in context, as we touch themes of father-son conflict and coming of age drama
January 23, 2009 | Full Review… -
a film of careful balances, setting raw nature against refined culture, and offering family drama that grips from start to finish without once resorting to sentimentality.
July 25, 2007 | Full Review… -
One of the most intense and powerful childhood tales, based on Gavino Ledda's memoirs of growing up in Sardinia illiterate and brutalized by his father and how he became a famous writer and master of Greek and Latin.
