If Only

About This Movie

If Only is one of those films that kind of creeps up on you. It portrays the tangled emotions of siblings dealing with the fallout of their parents' divorce, all set against the backdrop of Rome’s charm. The pacing feels a bit languid at times, but it works—allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere and family dynamics. The performances by the three leads are quite nuanced; they bring this real, relatable tension to the surface. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, more of a quiet exploration of familial love and conflict. You can feel the weight of their shared history as they navigate their complicated relationships, making it a distinctive piece in the comedy-drama blend.
