3.5 out of 10 Recommend
leona from Dublin, 30 Jan 2011
The movie opens with the car crash and the death of Colin Firth's character's wife. To overcome their grief he and his two daughters move from Chicago to Genoa where he takes up a one year teaching post. It is beautifully filmed and Italy is sublime. The younger daughter is haunted by the car crash whilst the older one sows her oats.

2 out of 10 Don't go to Genova!
Lyn from Cork, 23 Jul 2009
This has a great cast and a wonderful setting but unfortunately doesn't really go anywhere. It's a difficult subject dealt with in a respectful and honest way, but the end is very weak and I was left wondering what happened! Very disappointing.

0.5 out of 10 Don't Bother
Aidan from Kilkenny, 25 Aug 2009
I think this is supposed to be Art! Cinematically superb. From a really good opening and believable characters this movie wanders around Genoa and and eventually ends. No real plot, if you do watch it you will wonder why you did.

Kathy from Kerry, 08 Mar 2010
Thought with Colin Firth in it it would be a good film but was wrong i had to see it till the end to see if it picked up its not a good film think it has to be the worst that he has been in.

Ann from Dublin, 17 Jan 2011
Desperately boring film... much too long on time short on content. Colin Firth is nice to look at but underpar as is everyone else in this big yawn.

What's it about....
A man (Colin Firth) moves his two daughters to Italy after their mother dies in a car accident, in order to revitalize their lives. Genova changes all three of them as the youngest daughter starts to see the ghost of her mother, while the older one discovers her sexuality.
