Synopsis
Director Nanni Moretti returns to the winning ways of his earlier The Son's Room with another 'family drama'. What's it about? "Try as she may to play the hard-nosed pro on set, Margherita is swept up in the emotional turmoil of moving out of her boyfriend's apartment and dealing with a teenage daughter and a hospitalized mom. All this inevitably boils over into the political film she's making about factory workers at odds with management" - Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter.
Mixing in a dose of comedy (John Turturro plays the American lead in her film) makes Mia Madre "a tremendously smart and enjoyable movie" - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
