Amazing movie. Very touching, and heart warming. It just goes to show you, people that think they know everything, usually don't. Maggie Smith, is... purely elegant. Full Review

It's warm, spontaneous and heartfelt. Zeffirelli cared about his memories, and he's done justice to them.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

An incomplete memoir with spotty character development, but, in part because of the way it was filmed and in part because of the strength of the cast, it's still an effective entertainment. Full Review

ReelViews

Zeffirelli has created an amusing yet touching high adventure and an unusual coming-of-age tale.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

The movie is so aggressively ingratiating that it's probably not to be fully trusted, yet it works suprisingly well on its own limited terms[14 May 1999, p. 8E]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

The movie seemed the stuff of anecdote, not drama, and as the alleged protagonist, Luca/Franco is too young much of the time to play more than a bystander's role.Full Review
