"What a delicate and emotional movie 'La vita davanti a sé' is, an exclusive Netflix feature film. Although it may miss some points, such as the figure of the "savior white", the film moves with the story of a Holocaust survivor (the overwhelming Sophia Loren) who shelters a street child. It is one of those productions that tell the details of unexpected friendships, with some banal and expected moments. However, in general, director Edoardo Ponti (‘Desejo de Liberdade’) manages to bring some really simple moments with strength to the screen, probably making many viewers shed some sincere tears. To travel through the story and be moved."
