L'immensità Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 3, 2025
Penélope Cruz is mother. She’s magnetic and lifts this slice of life family drama with every frame she occupies. Unfortunately, none of the stories really come full circle or totally connect with each other to leave any kind of lasting impression, but I was pretty captivated while watching.
The Film Verdict
Alonso Duralde
Emanuele Crialese's autobiographical tale of growing up as a trans boy in early-70s Italy features a powerhouse performance from Penélope Cruz (right up there with her work in Ferrari) and musical flights of fancy alongside a powerful coming-of-age tale.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Stephanie Bunbury
Stop to think about it and L'Immensita is fundamentally quite bleak, but it wears a delightfully cheerful face.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
Melodrama is not a pejorative but dishonest movies like L'immensità add to its bad reputation.
City AM
Victoria Luxford
Like all memoirs of childhood, L'immensita wanders, seeking to fit the messiness of real life into cinematic form. However, Crialese leaves you feeling a real sense of knowing these characters, and in turn feeling closer to the struggles they represent.
House Notes
Hanna Flint
A visually, aesthetically and emotionally dynamic story that captures the immensity of living.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
While the semi-autobiographical L'immensità is not directly based on his childhood, Crialese empathizes with the immensity of Andrea's personal experience as someone who's been there. Art reflecting life, life reflecting art.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
A narrative endpoint reached not long after feels arbitrary, assuming a posture of resolution no viewer is likely to feel. This is a slick film that clearly comes from somewhere heartfelt, yet plays as if prematurely shot halfway through development...
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
L'immensità lives up to its title: It's a small but all-encompassing portrait of how life feels in a certain time and place.
The Film Verdict
Jay Weissberg
The problem with Emanuele Crialese's long-awaited return after eleven years is the utterly predictable script and a sensation that the handling of its gender-questioning young co-protagonist feels dated, yet Penelope Cruz is a major compensating factor

Glenn Kenny
[Penelope Cruz's] luminance is arguably worth the price of admission.
HollywoodChicago.com
Patrick McDonald
Like a bolt of lightning, the family dynamics portrayed in this film strikes right on the hot button U.S. legislative issues of right now. & creates a sensitivity that gets close to a breaking point without abandoning the love of mother to her child.
Observer
Rex Reed
A painful, heart-rending coming of age drama.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
By turns wry and tragic, but never glib or mawkish, this is a visually rich and evocative drama about navigating the often treacherous path to adulthood.
Los Angeles Times
Sarah-Tai Black
A love letter to its characters and their real-life counterparts, the film is, above all, a witness to the kind of expansive love and kinship that is formed in the margins but nonetheless expansive in its imaginings of the world.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
Unremarkable, naturalistic scenes of youthful adventuring fill out the coming-of-age drama.
Chicago Reader
Sheri Flanders
This film is simultaneously gorgeous and brutal to watch, exquisitely illustrating how the human spirit continues to cultivate joy even in the face of insurmountable suffering.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
I have seen several trans coming-of-age films - few with this amount of specificity, nuance, and imagination.
TheWrap
Lena Wilson
A grand and vibrant work of art.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Everything in "L'Immensità" is beautiful even when everything wasn't: Crialese's odd, affecting memory piece layers the world as it was, is and could be in the same gilded frame.
