Ben Turner The Pink Lens Dreamy, passionate and exceptionally serious, this decades-long romance is underserved by its over-generous helping. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2023 Full Review John Sooja Common Sense Media While the film meanders a bit in the middle and final third, jumping from time frame to time frame, the inevitable resolution perhaps feels a bit anticlimactic by the time it rolls around. Rated: 3/5 Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Beyond some inconsistencies, Nuovo Olimpo is a love story between two men that focuses on the essence of its characters, showing them as they are, without limitations or prejudices... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Nov 3, 2023 Full Review Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut Whilst Nuovo Olimpo might be just another love story, it is worth watching for its slow, arty, poetic style, and nods to cinema. Rated: 3/5 Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nuovo Olimpo is, unfortunately, not enough to make its delightful concept work. Rated: 5.5/10 Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Luciano A One of the best movies of all time. Absolute cinema!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Aron B The movie has some very beautiful moments between the main characters and the network of friends and partners they develop throughout the years. Damiano Gavino and Andrea Di Luigi create nuanced and tender performances that pulled me into their world. The ending is painful but beautiful. It is interesting the way the roles between the characters has reversed with Pietro now pursuing Enea and so clearly describing their situation. It is sad the way "time and space" did get in the way of their love but as Pietro said- they never forgot each other. I understand some of the comments about the way the characters aged but that was minor to me. There were some powerful moments in the final scenes. The musical underscoring worked beautifully adding a whole other layer to their relationship. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Suhaimi A This movie is very good; I started crying when I watched it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Mikael E such a beautiful movie, the passion and sexual tension is so powerful. most beautiful movie i have seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Florist G We loved this movie. It's an old fashioned love story beautifully acted with two very charismatic actors that is heartfelt and pure romance. It's reminiscent of the great classic love stories from the 1950's and 1960's Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Dany C This is an incredibly subtle and sensual movie that will delight any esthete! For the American public, this film is not understandable, as it contains many references to Italian and pan-European culture of the 70s. This film is imbued with love and tenderness for the beauty of Italy: its landscapes, architecture and human beauty. Ferzan Ozpetek is a genius who has proven his status more than once before, but in this film he has surpassed himself. This film will appeal to connoisseurs of high culture, those for whom feelings are not an empty phrase, those who have experienced a breakup and those who remember their old love, which cannot be returned. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
