A great story but the fact is if I wanted to read a book I would not have put on a movie. No disrespect to my Italian ancestors (25% here), but I do not speak more than a few words. Most movies where the dialogue has this amount of another language in it, I turn off rather quick. This I did finished, but I admit doing some fast forwarding. The story was a coming of age for the main characters with a little family mystery thankfully they could act. It was not as romantic as I hope but again considering the ages it was very tasteful. However, a romantic movie should at least have a final kiss or the viewer feels cheated.
