Vincere Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The untold story of how fascist strongman Benito Mussolini rose to power by trampling on the woman who loved him is a bracingly cinematic lesson in how all politics is personal.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
There's visual poetry here and haunted performances from Mezzogiorno and Timi -- who plays two roles, and is especially gripping as Dalser 1/2 1/2s grown son.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A passionate, bold look at power, paranoia and betrayal in a little-known corner of history, Vincere is steamy, sad and so Italian it feels like an opera.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's grand, heartbreaking material, made even more riveting by the fact that it is very likely true.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Vincere is a gripping presentation of a little-known true story and its historical lessons.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Vincere's images are indelible, if oddly romantic, as dangerously seductive as Il Duce himself.
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
It is good and worth seeing but not great.
Film Comment Magazine
Andrew Sarris
Bellocchio encapsulates the long-running mass hysteria of a nation enthralled by the demagogic antics of a now-seeming buffoon.
Chicago Reader
Joshua Katzman
Carol Crivelli's soaring classical score heightens Bellochio's operatic tendencies.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Bellocchio has turned the story of Mussolini's discarded wife and son into a movie that has some of the bully swagger and excess of Il Duce himself.
Associated Press
Glenn Whipp
Bellocchio tells the film's historical story in an electrifying fashion, mixing in newsreel footage, on-screen slogans and Futurist art, a bit of thunder and lightning and Carlo Crivelli's boom-boom score.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The brave and unflinching performance of Giovanna Mezzogiorno is the foundation upon which the bedrock of Vincere rests. She's the heart and soul of the film.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Giovanna Mezzogiorno plays Ida, and if you know Mezzogiorno you know instantly why this film is worth seeing.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Mezzogiorno plays Dalser with the kind of fervent intensity once seen in silent films...
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Here, in microcosm, is the tragedy of totalitarianism and its impact on the human soul.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
With wild collages of newsreel footage, swirling newspaper headlines, text, and music, Bellocchio fashions a melodrama of epic proportions.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Bellocchio's talent for expressive visuals is everywhere in evidence. It's the script that needs more balance.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
An intense and intriguing, if at times uneven, film with Italian director Marco Bellocchio wringing every drop of emotion out of his actors and his audience before it is over.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is beautifully well-mounted. The locations, the sets, the costumes, everything conspire to re-create the Rome of that time. It provides a counterpoint to the usual caricature of Mussolini.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Bellocchio's priorities are electrically clear. Sensation, sensation, sensation. The effect is a rare kind of moviegoing chaos. Are we to laugh, cry, scratch our temples, or grab our dates? In the spirit of the movie, do them all at once.
