About
You’ll likely love this tender, sun-soaked coming-of-age romance if you want a deeply felt first-love story that lingers; Not for you if you dislike slow pacing or prefer more action-driven plots like Looking or Moonlight.
Pros: beautiful Italian summer; powerful performances; lingering first love | Cons: slow in parts; some feel misjudged; pacing can drag
