- mickerdooOctober 27, 2025The first half a fairytale and the second a bittersweet tragedy. Read fast for English subtitles. Benigni makes this one of my favorites.
- mhantzeaJuly 20, 2025It’s a bit silly but it’s supposed to be. The lighter side of a sad situation
- Valar23June 26, 2025Both funny and sad. 4/5 because sometimes the tone is a little off, but it's a tough needle to thread.
