🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Paolo Virzì constructs a farce around a classic case of mistaken identity, using it to explore themes of despair and unexpected human connection. The film relies on the gentle absurdity of its ostrich-farming setting to deliver warmth and humor.
What lingers after the final scene is a sense of tender, forgiving comedy that finds hope in the most unlikely of places. It’s a reminder that kindness can arrive in disguise. — MovieFinder Editorial
