Beatrice and Donatella are two patients of a mental institution as Beatrice thinks she is a billionaire countess and a lover of world leaders when quiet tattoed Donatella is locked in her own mastery. They soon become best friend and start escaping from the treatment and return to the normal life.
Virzì's film ultimately adds up to little more than the tale of two mentally unstable people finally coming to accept their insanity - an awfully thin arc on which to build an overextended road-trip movie.
A poignant film with deep characters, a good story and direction, and landscapes that are visually the ideal setting for the film. [Full review in Spanish]
[Writer-director Paolo Virzi] expertly balances tension, hilarity and an emotionally affecting finale that, as with so much in this film, defies expectations.
A buddy movie and a false ode to freedom without much sense that ends up being lost just like the performance of Bruni Tedeschi. [Full review in Spanish]
A pleasingly warm, human and female take on the subject, shot through with Virzi's customary attention to not only the characters but also the wider socio-political background.
A terrific comedy-drama about two women in a mental institution that avoids the pitfalls such a scenario could encounter and boasts delicious dialogue with a rare sense of balance.
