A Special Day Ratings & Reviews
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
takes the framework of a familiar subset of romantic drama and vigorously turns it on its head as a means of tackling an acute example of what it means to be a social outsider
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An observant drama on the ill-effects of fascism, that's grounded on the lives of two anguished lonely souls with opposite personalities, beliefs and lives.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Cast against type, Mastroianni (Oscar-nominated) and Sophia Loren deliver great performances in Ettore Scola's sensitive drama about a suicidal homosexual and a tired housewife.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
A Special Day remains a particularly potent demonstration of Ettore Scola's tremendous talents.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
The Criterion Collection's 4K Blu-ray offers a beautiful transfer of Ettore Scola's long unavailable gem.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
In Ettore Scola's funny, humane A Special Day, Antonietta and Gabriele are never really a couple, but their brief encounter lights up the screen with the kind of radiance you get only from great movie actors who also are great stars.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Sophia Loren puts in her best performance since Two Women.
Gay Community News (Boston)
Eric Rogers
The movie offers a moving story of two tortured souls struggling against the quiet violence that preceded the holocaust.
