Luce (2024) Open Roads 2025


Portrait of a young woman who works in a leather manufacturing plant and her head space.

This is going to be a love it loath it film. Told almost entirely in close ups, this is a film where we are literally in everyone's face. For the most part what we see is limited. Everything is we learn is from the face of Marianna Fontana, who is in almost every shot. While I think she gives a good performance, I don't think there is enough to her character to make this film compelling. I kept wanting to see what was off the edge of the screen or see Fontana differently.

On the other hand this may work for you.
