Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: If you count yourself among anyone who loves a will-they-won't-they and music lovers, this one's for you. The chemistry carries it. Fans of TÁR or tick, tick... BOOM! should feel right at home.
The mood: Emotional (bring tissues).
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 19 min.
What might put you off: It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
