Drama Thirteen year-old Marta has recently moved back to southern Italy with her mother and older sister and struggles to find her place, restlessly testing the boundaries of an unfamiliar city and the catechism of the Catholic church.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"There are moments that suggest the director might do something better next time."	POS
United States	Rachel Saltz The New York Times	"Rohrwacher combines a documentary impulse (effective in family scenes) with a more allegorical one. Her film gets clunky when allegory has the upper hand"	NEU
United States	Boyd van Hoeij Variety	"Mario is a fascinating and fully rounded character. However, Rohrwacher seems unsure how to integrate him into the story, which mostly sticks to Marta’s more innocent p.o.v."	NEU
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"The action does, however, suffer from some mid-section slowness (...) Rohrwacher and cinematographer Helene Louvart (...) show a keen eye for naturalistic detail"	NEU
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"Quietly compelling, the cerebral slice of social realism is well worth hunting down (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
