An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation -- an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over. Read More Read Less

Alison Foreman indieWire Outrageously snappy and unapologetically fun, I Don’t Understand You is a must-see for anyone who likes queer romance, horror-comedy, and/or hot Italians. Rated: A- Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Emotional honesty sometimes salvages this tonal misfire but can’t quite pull together a movie that is constantly coming apart with bad screenwriting choices and direction that never figures out how to tell this quirky story. Mar 16, 2024 Full Review David Rooney Hollywood Reporter Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells make such an effortlessly funny and convincing couple that they smooth over the rough transitional patches. Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer We Live Entertainment Enjoyment of I Don’t Understand You’s second half depends entirely on suspension of disbelief since taking any piece of the storyline seriously won’t lead to a positive experience. Rated: 5/10 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Daily Dead It’s refreshing to see a film that doesn't punish gay characters for being bad, and the fact that those characters are prospective parents dealing with all the fraught emotions that process entails is just blood-spatter on the Cannoli cake. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Rendy Jones Rendy Reviews An Italian nightmare of hilarity and uncertainty, I Don’t Understand You is a sharp, witty horror comedy carried by Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells’ tight comedic chemistry. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
