	Author	Review
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"The Tuscan scenery is so gorgeous and expansive that it draws you in (...) 'Dolce Fine Giornata' comes to feel like a soapbox from which Borcuch is proclaiming some vague treatise about the limits of art and empathy."	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is superbly crafted on all levels, the balance of casual and elegant extending from narrative structure to (...) camerawork and the inviting nature of the surroundings."	POS

United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"[It transforms] a family drama into a consideration of European identity (...) Borcuch’s understated storytelling and the compelling central performance from Krystyna Janda create a graceful film"	POS
	Ola Salwa Cineuropa	"The director doesn’t impose his views, and nor does he give away too much about his characters; he prefers his audience to connect the emotional dots themselves. This makes the film feel intimate, quiet and deserving of our attention."	POS
