A touching Italian love story.

| May 13, 2022

This, however, is a one-man show, and it all belongs to the sorrowful, mellow face of Troissi, who turns in one of the best performances of this movie year...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 14, 2022

I was captivated by the Massimo Troisi's performance as Mario.

Il Postino is an enchanted, sun-touched film.

| Mar 17, 2021

This is a film with a heart and soul; a film keyed to the wonderful performance by actor and director Massimo Troisi.

Il Postino has been dismissed by some as a piece of sentimental whimsy. They are missing a lot, as the film is much deeper than its surface charm.

| Mar 17, 2021

Troisi... has fine comic timing throughout, along with a touch of mulishness which keeps a lot (but not all) of the hovering sentimentality at bay.

A mildly charming fable, about an Italian postman who eins the heart of a local girl through the heartfelt poetry of a legendary port, the film became cause celebre when star Massimo Troisi died one day after the shoot was over.

Works on so many different levels--as a tribute to the power and beauty of poetry; as a tale of brotherhood; and as a charmingly quirky romance.
