This movie lacks of integrity. First part is consistent and believable while the second one looks rushed and unlikely because it's inconsistent with the first part.
This is just a modern gay fairytale. That's it.
The tale of a small victory on the road to female empowerment.
I feel like I lost two hours of my life!
Way better than expected! Hadn't great expectations, yet I spent some lovely 90 minutes watching it! Lots of love to Angela Finocchiaro and Fioretta Mari.
Just a modern adaptation of the classic Cinderella fairytale, except in this one Cinderella is an Italian hairdresser from New York.
I had great expectations about this documentary film, unfortunately they were not fulfilled. It was too glossy for my taste, it seems it was made to please the fans and not scare them, but in doing so they made everything unrealistic. If they had faced the issue courageously, they should have shown how you can descend into hell and all the pain you feel in such a dark place. In this film everything's mitigated so as not to offend the sensibilities of the viewers. I wished there was a deeper look at the mental issues but there wasn't. Take a look at the the experience lived by Robin Williams as shown in "Robin's Wish" to understand what I mean, it's a much more effective biopic. Perhaps the management was more concerned about preserving Selena's public image I guess. That's something I can understand but, if so, they better didn't make this film at all or make it much shorter! A 90 minute long film is too much for what we have seen and I am surprised that Apple TV, which usually offers high quality stuff, offered such a mainstream product like this, good only at meeting fans' expectations and just that, instead of providing a brutal and sincere, contemporary and thoughtful look at mental health. I have the utmost respect for the pain that a star like Selena can feel, but this documentary could have been much better while instead it showed little or nothing of what she went through and everybody can go through in similar situations.
I find Drew Van Acker basically my ideal man. I admit though he's not a great actor and the movies and shows he accepts are not good. This one is no exception.
"We all need to get out of childhood in one piece but if nowhere along the line do you get that sort of reinforcement that you're worth love, you're lovable, that there's something in you, that we're a good person, what you end up with is a sort of emptiness".
Such a delicate movie. Astounding.
Francesco Gheghi with long hair looks so much like Timothée Chalamet! Anyway the movie was nice, not perfect but it deals with such an important topic. Plus, it comes as something new in Italy, since this kind of themes are often ignored.
For the first hour I thought this movie was just silly, then everything became clearer and I started to feel the pain and sorrow of the main character. Get past the first 60 minutes and you won't regret watching this movie.
This was such a sweet movie
The only good thing of this movie is Parker Young
Clearly, this movie took inspiration by "Loose Cannons", an Italian acclaimed film back in 2010. Except that the original was so much better.
Blasphemare absens fides. The dangers of the faithIess. It's the notion that nature abhors a vacuum,
even a spirituaI one. PeopIe who've Iost their beIiefs, they're Iike empty vesseIs, more susceptibIe to having their Iives
taken over by forces bigger than themseIves.
The story wasn't that bad, but the acting... terrible! I understand this was made with a low budget and they probably didn't want to waste much time filming but it could have been definitely better!
Tonight on Cielo Tv (Italy).
You can't ask anything better from a disaster movie! This isn't the best movie you'll watch in your life, it's just entertainment. Leave it at that.
I expected this to be so much better because Jonah Hill always makes me laugh, yet it was just a 'meh' movie for me.
Many comments about this are way too harsh! Not a masterpiece, but not that bad. I've seen worse.
The genre of this movie is softcore porn and that's how it should be judged, as well as comedies are different from dramas and so on.
Something's missing. Great acting by Johnny Depp but the story felt almost unreal. That kind of reaction by the professor and even more the way people around him react to his revelation (except Peter) is not what we'd expect and that could even have been ok if only we had
witnessed a thorough exploration of the characters I can't see here.
Pretty solid story although the overall quality of the movie is not what I expected it to be, considering the involvement of HBO in this. While I was watching it I asked myself if this wasn't a Lifetime production...
I think this could have been better, anyway the story that was told here is too important to be ignored and I'm grateful to this movie for that.
This movie deserved more recognition than it actually got.
I don't think this was so bad as other people said... Sure not that bad like other recent reboots...
This is pure trash, beyond any imagination!
Embarassing. This was just embarassing. Shame on me 'cause I wanted to watch it despite the many warnings I received.
22 years later, I must say that I remembered it better ... It hasn't stood the test of time.
