November 22, 20205 yr I really enjoyed this movie. I loved watching Sophia Loren and the other cast members. I found the entire movie delightful and enjoyable. The acting was excellent. Netflix https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-life-ahead-movie-review-2020
November 22, 20205 yr Author BTW, watch it in the original Italian. Use English subs. You must hear their voices. Beautiful.
November 22, 20205 yr Active Members I wanted to like it, but alas, no such luck. I was bored. I did not enjoy the script. I thought the evolution of Momo was disjointed. I doubt I could sit through it again. Sophia Loren never moved me much as an actress, and whatever beauty there was is long gone. I admire her bravery. I'm happy to see her continuing to embrace work, but this film did not move me.
December 7, 20205 yr Active Members If you liked it, @TotallyOz, watch the previous movie on this same story, featuring Simone Signoret, from the late 1970s (La vie devant soi). I found it much, much better, Loren notwithstanding.
