ThiefHott Too much of everything
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
stefano76 The Repairman is a fresh, entertaining, original movie. It's a debut feature (for which I'm being a little bit generous in vote!), but very refined, with a super nice cinematography (by David Rom, a really promising talent) and a very sensitive, delicate touch.First of all, it's funny and entertaining - a few big laughs, and a lot of giggling scenes; but it's also touching and the characters have the required depth to get attached to them.The northern-Italian setting come with a lot of local culture and character, and it's an interesting part for itself - and some locations are beautiful; for an Italian leaving abroad, as I am, it comes with a somehow nostalgic feeling: but it's probably even more interesting for not- Italians, to discover an often unknown area (yes, each Italian region comes with a lot of peculiarities!)There also are a real story and some deeper themes, of course; but the whole movie is told with no judgment, a sort of light detachment that let the viewer make his own opinion, helped by a rhythm fast enough to keep the story interesting, yet slow enough to let her (the spectator) explore the details, rather than rushing through it as if only the end had a meaning, and only sudden events and crazy surprises could keep a watcher interested.The acting is just and authentic and intense, too, and successfully bring to believable life characters real and three dimensional, yet a little stereotyped, in a way that remembers more the "commedia dell'Arte" rather than the loud, all-out American style.If you are looking for something different and well done, you won't be disappointed!
