That scene where they overwhelm her by trying to light her cigarette made me hate men, and the scene where they harm her and cut her hair made me hate women, basically i hate everyone apart from Monica Bellucci.
NiamhAug 9, 2017The most unrealistic part of the film is that in this Italian town there is only one beautiful person. And everyone else is so ugly that they have nothing to do other than stalk her and gossip about her.
Omar!Dec 9, 2018this film made me hate both men and women... I only love Monica Belucci.

we get it teenage boys are horny, men are gross and monica bellucci is hot we did not need a 2 hour long film to tell us that
luviSep 9, 2021men 🥺 please stop making movies 🥺
lara 🪲Nov 4, 2016me: this a great exploration of the harms of mysoginy and male gaze that adresses honestly how a young boy growing up in this environment could ultimately make him no better than the rest of the people but the film is smart enough to know it needed hope to make it work in…

7,5/10
andrine lovedMalenaMalena my love… God, she deserves so much better, I just want to wrap her in a hug and comfort her. Tell her she’s more than just her beauty and make her feel loved for something other than her beauty. She deserves the whole goddamn world and so goddamn much more.
Luna Tissot-Ortiz lovedMalenaHard to look at... But so well realize The fact that we follow the story through the eyes and ears of a young boy makes the story even more touching Monica Bellucci!! Just slay

A hauntingly beautiful film. Bellucci’s performance and Morricone’s score make it unforgettable, though the story’s gaze feels bittersweet and tragic.
Sophia Agoston likedMalenaSo powerful story, it made me feel so hungry for her justice. Shows exactly how a simple bad gossip can, make a whole town hate someone. 10/8
haris lovedMalenaWhat a very depressing plot. Shows how beautiful women are treated in a world full of man. I could never ask for a better ending. Its perfect

Daniel Davies lovedMalenaCinematic. Powerful. Thought provoking. Beautiful. Finished with a sense of emptiness and desertion perhaps like Malena herself. 9/10
Cam is "meh" onMalenaKinda traumatized but the end made me make peace with this movie. It’s a greatly done movie it’s just that it is very hard to watch

Gives audiences something more than just a heart-stopping beauty to contemplate.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Malena the film is as beautiful and seductive as its heroine, with its ravishing Lajos Koltai cinematography and sweepingly romantic Ennio Morricone score.
Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times
Striking photography, period detail, screen-filling crowd scenes, and veteran composer Morricone's score make this one worth seeing, but the sheer nastiness of the town's people drags it down.
