🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a quiet tension between the fading industrial reality and the seductive glow of the television screen. It explores a crisis of masculinity and purpose, relying on subtle performances to depict a marriage eroded by unemployment and mediated desire.

What lingers after the credits is a poignant sense of displacement. The film offers a sobering look at how personal worth unravels when societal roles shift. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Paolo Virzì
