Me, Them and Lara

About This Movie

So, 'Me, Them and Lara' is quite an interesting piece from Carlo Verdone. It's got this blend of comedy and drama that feels very Italian—lighthearted yet deeply introspective. The pacing has this ebb and flow, moving between moments of levity and heavier themes like faith and family disconnection. The performances are quite compelling, especially the priest's internal struggle; you really feel his conflict as he reconnects with his family, and that young lady he meets adds a fascinating twist to his existential crisis. The practical effects might not be the focus here, but the realness of the interactions makes it immersive. It's a film that gives you a lot to think about, layered in its simplicity, if you know what I mean.

Good character study on faith and family. · Nice mix of humor and deeper themes. · Explores personal doubt in a relatable way.
