Such a powerful movie
1 February 2019 | by rickyalvarez-89650See all my reviews

The Italian director Matteo Rovere, with all the crew, did an awesome job with this movie. They collaborated with some of the most prestigious universities in Italy, with the purpose of trying to make this film as realistic as possible. The cinematography is excellent, even the photography is just perfect.
