Feels pretty bland and emotionless, which is really bad when it’s a movie that clearly wants you to get emotional. Another one of those “dad movies” which struggle to find focus or momentum in a single concept and stick with it. The script is completely forgettable and weak, yet there are some beautiful shots and the score is wonderful. Not a complete waste of time, but definitely not a joy to watch either.

Craziest thing about this movie after italian soldier Nicolas Cage? Il sorvegliante del collegio. Then Penélope Cruz dancing a tango in Greece in the 40’s
