The Trailer

The Review

When I was young, watching Giuseppe Tornatore’s “Stanno Tutti Bene” had such an impact for me.

It irks me then how depressing and complicated life is.

Well the Hollywood remake didn’t quite hit the mark as the original for me.

Slightly much more Hollywood-esque, it is still a decent remake with an emotional outcome.

Life is all about dealing with secrets, and the characters in this movie has plenty to share.

You might learn a thing or two from this film that things are not all what they appear to be.

The Good

• Dull scenes
• Can be depressing watching this movie

The Bad

• Touching film
• Will make you reflect of your own family
