Puts "Life is Beautiful" to shame

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

A cinematic triumph in every way: the comedy, humanity, drama, and triumph. But whoever was hired to make the trailers for the film, and whoever greenlighted them, should never be permitted to work in Hollywood again. They really undercut the power and intelligence of the film with their slapstick comedy approach. Now granted, there were many absurdist comedic elements (and they were hilarious... I also must note that Sam Rockwell gives an understated classic performance), but the film was so much more rich than I had ever imagined. Excellent film by any measure.
