Reception

The Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw described the film as "gentle, wistful late-life comedy, [...] a sort of Italian version of Last of the Summer Wine."^[2] According to Little White Lies reviewer David Jenkins, the film is "delightful" and "does float by gracefully on a wave of easy, lightly ironic charm, and di Gregorio himself is just an extremely warm and funny screen presence".^[3]
