Poveri Noi

About This Movie

Poveri Noi is a fascinating exploration of friendship and the passage of time. The film unravels the lives of Edoardo and Ottavio, who were inseparable in high school but have drifted apart after three decades. Edoardo’s life seems picture-perfect on the surface, with a successful career and a family that’s perhaps a bit too coddled. The performances bring a touch of realism, especially in the quieter moments where nostalgia meets regret. The pacing has a gentle ebb and flow, allowing the audience to soak in the atmosphere of their different worlds. It’s intriguing to see how their reconnection sparks both comedic and dramatic revelations. There’s a rawness in the practical effects and the authentic settings, which ground the story in a relatable reality.
