Meredith Slifkin Film Comment Magazine Jun 28, 2013
Though at times heavy-handed in its imagery and slow-paced, Rohrwacher's debut feature is remarkably unadorned and touching, putting forth a realistic portrait of modern Italy at a time when the country faces economic hardship as well as cultural changes. Go to Full Review

For those willing to overlook its few slips into heavy-handedness, "Corpo Celeste" tells a compelling story of a 12-year-old girl thrust into a strange new world. Go to Full Review

Rey S Dec 5, 2018 Three out of three for Alice Rohrwache. Her first feature film is also the last I had the pleasure to watch, and even if it wasn't as brilliant as the last two productions, "Corpo Celeste" is a honest and insightful coming-of-age story, driven by faith and social realism. See more
