Mikhail Krichman, Andrey Zvyagintsev’s regular cinematographer, finds gorgeous snowy tableaux among the vertiginous heights. The mostly amateur cast are impressive, with Martina Scrinzi a heartbreaking standout.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 28, 2025

It is so quiet and simple. Almost no one talks in this movie, but the story is right there.

Delpero’s dense, meticulous accumulation of intimate detail makes us feel that we’re really inhabiting this small universe, with all its harshness and its comforts, as much at home in it as the family.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 4, 2025

Vermiglio is exquisite. There’s a rough, earthy tenderness to the picture and a kinship with other recent examples of Italian folk cinema.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 21, 2025

It’s a hushed yet effectively emotive drama that’s bolstered with the addition of Mikhail Krichman’s stunning cinematography.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2025

It is a rich, enveloping film that asks viewers to approach it as if tiptoeing through the snow.

| Jan 3, 2025

The rare movie set in the past that seems attuned to the consciousness of the time it depicts.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 28, 2024

Pulsates with harsh, anguished emotion, thanks in no small part to splendid visuals that make it the most beautiful film of the year.

Vermiglio is at once delicate and forceful, though this same quality ensures its narrative gets diffuse.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 18, 2024

Delpero’s film is quiet in depicting change but basks in the incremental disruptions that can change and disrupt the status quo of power.

| Nov 1, 2024

It is wonderfully acted with unaffected naturalism by its cast of professionals and newcomers and plays an extravagant, almost shameless pizzicato on the audience’s heartstrings.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 11, 2024

The portrait of a nearly vanished rural way of life remains compelling, and the melodrama engaging enough to suggest this might have been improved by being spread thinner as a 온라인카지노추천 series.

| Sep 3, 2024

The remarkable, raw-boned and ravishing Vermiglio takes place in the past but operates like a future family secret playing out in the present tense, a perspective that is not quite Godlike, but comes from that which we might as well call God.

| Sep 3, 2024

Much like the many characters who long to leave this place by the time the film’s two-hour running time has come to an end, the viewer is in a similar position.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 3, 2024
