The Hand of God

"Sensual, sad and occasionally sublime."

"A highly personal memoir that truly breathes on the big screen..."

"Caught between nostalgia and overstatement..."

"Profoundly affecting..."

"Paolo Sorrentino’s most personal movie is also his best..."

"The result is (Sorrentino's) most moving and monumental work to date - not to mention his most accessible..."

"An artistic tale of life’s cruel and colourful carnival..."

"Frustratingly uneven viewing."

"A wistful, winking, cinematic scrapbook..."

"Sorrentino has proved repeatedly... that he has plenty to say. But this time he just didn't say it very well."

"It would be really obtuse not to marvel at the exuberance, energy and vivid moment-by-moment immediacy of this movie..."

"A sprawling, gorgeous mess, but one you can't look away from..."

"It goes on too long but somehow doesn't go far enough."

"At once benign in mood and painfully sensitive to the touch..."

"(An) uneven, occasionally dazzling personal journey."

"A sprawling, propulsive and deeply personal affair."

"It's fair to say The Hand of God is far from (Sorrentino's) best work..."
