i have have the big trouble rating this movie and first of all the character depict in this movie be superb and complex and deep and sad and brilliantly act and etc . i have never see a movie that have so many complex character . lot of praise . second and the picture be most of the time very and very beautiful and everything have be think of and in the small detail . lot of praise for this as well . you would say and why do not you give this movie positive then . because of the plot . the plot be good and though and i believe they could have do a good job and some plot point aren not as good a they could be and and some part of the plot have be overreact and especially the sad part and some other ( good part ) of the plot flash by and which be a pity . this be the reason i have such a hard time voting and plot be way bad than the acting and the character and the picture and the soundtrack and etc . character represent positive act represent positive plot represent positive result represent positive i would recommend this movie to anyone and and in particular people who love drama and just a story of a person . or to people that like great soundtrack and or to people that like beautiful picture in movie and etc . etc . funny part represent at the end of the movie and the mother ( giuglia ) look young than the daughter and well and she have get gray hair and but that about it and no wrinkle and nothing . it hard to make people age 40 year in one movie and i know and so and director and you have my respect for adriana and because she really age perfectly and although when you look carefully and you do see she only in her 30 instead of her 70 . positive .
