Reception

[edit]

Paola Casella of Mymovies.it gave the film four out of five stars and wrote, "With the courage of a lioness, Francesca Comencini recounts her relationship with her father, Luigi, in a free film that makes her personal story universal".[11]

Damiano Panattoni of Movieplayer.it gave the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Intimate and very sweet, Francesca Comencini's tribute has the ability to speak to the public thanks to the universality of a private story in which one can find oneself, between gestures, words, silences, hugs. It may suffer from a certain rhetorical redundancy, but the emotion and ardor are such as to make Il tempo che ci vuole a congruent and emotional work, in its sincere, personal and loving gratitude."[12]

Federico Pontiggia of Cinematografo.it gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it "a touching and perfectible pas de deux", but critiquing its narrative structure.[13]

Giulio Zoppello of Today rated the film 6.5 out of 10 and wrotem "Il tempo che ci vuole is a coherent film but perhaps something is missing, above all the ability from the middle onwards to develop a story that is more than just images, it is as if there were a missing part, a segment that has not been offered to us. However, in its ability to be incredibly intimate, in the disenchantment with which Francesca Comencini speaks of herself, of that difficult past, net of a slightly cloying ending, there is a lot of vitality".[14]

Anna Maria Pasetti of Il Fatto Quotidiano called the film "[Comencini's] most personal, emotional and thrilling film, and perhaps also her most beautiful."[15]
