About This Movie

So, Sirley, right? It's this quirky comedy from 2021, revolving around Nina, a 13-year-old navigating her chaotic family life. Set against the backdrop of Rome’s suburbs, it throws the viewer into a world of drab high-rises and lively, somewhat eccentric characters, like her gambling grandmother. The film's tone is a mix of lightheartedness and a touch of drama, with a pacing that captures the awkwardness of adolescence. What stands out are the little moments—like the absurdity of kids on scooters and the nuances of family dynamics—feels very authentic. The performances are solid, particularly Nina's, as she encounters a twist that shakes up her routine, almost like a Mediterranean coming-of-age whirlwind.

Engaging character dynamics · Unique suburban Italian setting · Authentic portrayal of adolescence
