Sicilian Ghost Story's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
If Grassadonia and Piazza had simply retold the story, it would have been gripping enough, but they deepen the intensity and widen the meaning by letting the tale unfold in a strange filmic space between cruel reality and ghostly fantasy.
Screen Daily
"Sicilian Ghost Story is overlong and expects a lot of an audience with its challenging mixture of genres and styles but in the end it is a love story with moments that are both tender and touching"
Variety
Co-directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza beautifully mix fairy tale and mythological tropes with the harsh reality of a Mafia kidnapping.
Clarin
"The horror of the mafia with fantastic elements and the magic of first love results in a fairy tale as poetic as it is chilling".
