I have a thing for unusual and unlikely relationships, so just the intersection of a life slowly coming to an end with a life that has barely begun moves me. Plus, Sophia Loren is amazing and her personality is strong enough to build a movie around without a proper story. Personally, I don't even see an ambition to exaggerate the relationship between the older lady and the little boy in any way or to make it more important than it could have been over such a short period. Love and understanding, in short, can come at any time, and in any measure. I don't so much get an experience out of the film as a feeling. Not a deep one, but a pretty nice one. A weaker 4 stars.

I went into this expecting a beautiful, heartfelt farewell from Sophia Loren to the film industry, especially given the classic storyline. While it didn’t quite hit that five-star mark, it was still a lovely experience. Sophia Loren is divine, as always, no matter what.
