Um filme charmoso e cativante.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 7, 2003

The last 20 minutes of the film include some of the most romantic filmmaking in a long time.

| Original Score: 75/100 | Jun 2, 2003

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 20, 2003

A feel-good film with a schmaltzy love offering of tulips and bread.

| Original Score: C | Apr 22, 2002

It is a very positive film in many ways. It argues that just about anybody can be redeemed.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 13, 2002

A slow-going but very, very sweet movie.

| Original Score: B | Feb 9, 2002

Although Maglietta's appealing as Rosalba, cowriter and director Silvio Scoldini's movie is a little too shopworn and pokey to be more than a respectable European diversion.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 6, 2002

A well-intentioned, warm movie that becomes increasingly saccharine and silly.

I can't recall ever having seen this actress [Maglietta], but here she commands the screen.

Leisurely paced and very easy to watch.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 27, 2001

It's almost as if Solidini ... figured that all he had to do was put a crowd of eccentric characters together and magic would occur.

| Nov 2, 2001

The heart knows what it wants in Bread And Tulips, and so do the filmmakers. Every eccentric character, plot-twist and contrivance is a means to that end.

| Nov 2, 2001

As for star Licia Maglietta, the appeal of the film is nearly all in her presence.

It's all very sweet, but the film goes in too many directions.

| Oct 11, 2001

An airy, scrumptious valentine of a romantic fable.

Full Review | Oct 8, 2001

An endearing romantic daydream, but misses the bus where matters of reality are concerned.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2001

Like a pleasant, gentle book that, once finished, makes you think, 'Gee, I could have spent that time reading something better.'

Full Review | Oct 4, 2001

A feel-good helping of cinematic tiramisu--it's sweet and spongy, but rather clammy and artificial.

| Original Score: C | Oct 3, 2001
