🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Paolo Virzì constructs a sharp social satire through the microcosm of a schoolyard. He relies on the observant gaze of a child to explore the absurdity of adult political and class divisions that trickle down to the next generation.
What lingers after the credits is the poignant humor of Caterina's navigation. Those who tire of heavy-handed dramas will find a clever, heartfelt story about preserving one's self in a world eager to assign labels. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Paolo Virzì
