You can't go wrong going with Nursebob's comments on films, and no exception with his Dec 11, 2014 lyrical write-up on this family drama that centers on a rootless former Russian bride Emma (Tilda Swinton) who, in midlife crisis, finds a…

This is the first in a trilogy that ends with “Call Me By Your Name”. It’s slow-moving, so some will find it boring (I didn’t). The acting, script, cinematography, direction, and costumes were top-notch. If you’re a fan of early 20th…

I have to admit I couldn't hold out til the end of this movie. Script and direction mimics the worst of TV, two-dimensional characters behaving only as people do in third rate soap operas. Not once until I threw in the towel did I hear a…

The film was beautiful to look at, but the story was trite and overall the movie was boring. The Italian bourgeoisie does not deserve this attention.

A beautifully shot, independent, Italian film that explores the inner workings of a Milanese family...which happens to have a bored house wife, whose senses (in more ways than one)are awaken by her young lover, a chef.

This is Tilda Swinton's best role. She's definitely the most versatile actress of this generation. This film sure has the cinematic magnitude of a Fellini and Godard film, with Milan and the breathtaking Italian countryside as the…

Emma Recchi, the Russian wife of an obscenely rich Milanese businessman (Tilda Swinton, always electric) approaches middle age with a sense of disconnectedness; she’s never been an integral part of her husband’s world and she’s all but…

FANTASTIC film. Not trite. I kept thinking about it in the days after I saw it.
A film best left unwatched! I liked the visual richness of the movie and enjoyed that aspect. Though I must admit that all of the wild vegetation shots grew tiresome. In all honesty I was unsure as to what to expect, but I was not what…

This is a superb film with exquisite cinematography, a blockbuster musical background by John Adams, and a wonderful cast headed by Tilda Swinton. The ordered and stable Italian aristocracy is giving way to a new society governed more by…

So disappointing. This movie presents itself as an art house movie but is completely free of originality.
Yes this film has beautiful photography and good actors but with a script like this its all in vain. The characters are so poorly…

“Io sono l’amore” tratta sulla tradizione nel confronto alla modernità e la disintegrazione della famiglia. In questo film non accade molto e così mi ha sembrato un po’ lungo.

Not for the person who likes typical US movies....I love Tilda Swinton and she was great in this movie.

Sumptuous visuals with a sensual if slightly simple plot. Tilda Swinton is lovely and formidable as long-suffering Recchi matriarch, Emma. Her fluency in Italian is especially impressive; she blends in seamlessly with the rest of the…

I agree with Human1. Her husband was in Russia buying art, and she was just another beautiful object he could afford to buy, no different from a beautiful portrait that would look great in his house. He didn't like her real name, so he…
