Review of From Italy with Amore

From Italy with Amore is light hearted RomCom perfection. The humor is so subtle and enjoyable that I watched it twice in four days. (I'm actually watching it again while writing this. It delivers so much comfort and warmth through great chemistry among the leads. They are at ease with each other and generous as actors in each scene. The dialogue is unhurried and made fresh by the actors. The male lead gives one of his best RomCom performances because (again) of that great chemistry. The female lead, Rebecca Dalton gives a wonderfully nuanced performance giving her character Ariel much more depth than is normally seen in a RomCom. She grows with each performance and I've suspected for years that she would helm her own movies someday and I'm glad someone saw her talent. I predict that if her agents know what they are doing they will move her into other genres. I think she could pull some complex emotional tools out for the right film. It will be our loss in the lite RomCom arena. I think anyone who didn't like her performance was convinced by how convincing her performance is, which high praise for an actor. I only mentioned Rebecca Dalton by name until now not as a slight to the other fine actors in this movie but because of the strength of her performance. Marcus Rosner is the perfect foil and together they just work wonderfully without straining like a crisp Pinot Grigio and Branzino. I would love to see another pairing of these two.

Delightful RomCom one of the best if you are looking for a light hearted warming diversion. I'm a guy who likes a good RomCom and this certainly is a good RomCom.
