Notturno

"At a certain point, Notturno begins to... feel more like exploitation than compassion."

"Rosi has created a very characteristic cine-poem of sadness..."

"(The) film’s meditative pacing and mosaic structure turn it into a sort of woozy docu-reverie, which proves seductively immersive..."

"Rosi’s compositions, static and mostly wide angle, are ennobling, albeit ambiguously."

"(Rosi's) melancholic documentary moves beyond a sense of perpetual aftermath by picking up threads of continuity in people’s resilience."

"It’s a sweeping work of care and one that is often piercing in its painful beauty."

"(A) sober and hypnotic portrait of daily life..."

"A thing of terrible, experiential and even rather contemplative beauty."

"Rosi’s way of watching is its own holistic form of reportage."

"Nobody with a sense for contemplative cinema will be left unsatisfied by Notturno."
