Wow, what a movie I just watched.

I've never felt the need to rate a movie or write a review, but this one got me hooked.

Everyone heard at least once that "life is too short to be stuck doing what you don't find fulfilling or meaningful" or "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" or something similar and you usually nod and continue doing the same things. And there's a time when you finally understand how short life is. You look in the mirror and you know what you have to do.

This is a simple and powerful story, delivered in a brilliant, delicate way.

If you are in your thirties, in your forties, even in your fifties, you will relate to this one. Go and watch it, while there's still time.

Husband and i did not expect much from this small movie with unknown (to us) actors, but we ended up quickly roped in by its theme and how cleverly it develops. A Groundhog Day idea unfolding on another plane- this story is of an inoffensive enough but flawed man discovering what and who he is about to lose, and what his benign neglect will cost him. We watched the film in Italian with subtitles to not miss the local flavor, and discovered a great story that unfolds subtly, yet at a crisp pace. On a background of -basically- the tragedy of modern life-, the story goes from funny to hugely emotional without ever being cloying or pandering. And no pat ending either. This script is brilliant and original, and the 2 main actors are a joy to watch. Loved it,

This is the first review I have ever written about a movie. I think this is really a masterpiece!

It is a movie, if you watch and listen, a movie that will make you think about your life - in a very constructive way.

I have always tried to keep a journal and review my life on my birthday - what have I done maybe wrong and what maybe right, to try see the big picture. I think this movie is exactly about this - to see and keep an eye on the big picture, the important things in life.

And probably the best possible way to see the big picture is maybe when forgetting about the small stuff, maybe forgetting about everything for a while and then just seeing the results of your past decisions, small decisions leading to great changes. And then to choose wisely while slowing down for a while which way not to and which way to go.

A beautiful movie!

Everyone should watch this movie! It is very profound! I have learnt a lot from this movie and also, of course i cant be a spoiler, cry a lot! Very touching but at the same time funny!

Nowadays people are so busy everyday, dont know what they are hurry for! But they are hurry all the time! Keep watching the watch, and counting the time! Or some of them can not sit still and live at that particular moment! They think they need to earn more or buy more or work hard for status~ they think these can represent them! But in fact this cant! This movie teaches us the problem of this and it gives u a lesson by the show so u can feel this instead of just reading it! So i think all people, especially those who are always busy should watch this.

Watching this movie really struck a chord with me. In life, we often only feel regret when we look back. Dante, portrayed by Edoardo Leo, felt like a reflection of people around me, and even myself. He was blinded by the perspective of self-responsibility, working at the company for a paycheck but enduring criticism. He chose to focus on his career, thinking it would secure the future for his family. Beatrice Ronchi's character, Alice, on the other hand, was a loving wife who worked hard to maintain the warmth in their marriage.

I believe that the choices made in the moment have no clear right or wrong; it's only with time that we come to understand the consequences. The plot cleverly and swiftly depicts Dante's extramarital affair, but his regrets become evident through his expressions and subsequent choices. This makes me remind myself that while the source of income may seem practical in society, the future of a family depends on the mutual understanding and effort of both partners, rather than one escaping outwardly while the other waits silently.
