 The dramas presented here by Mazzantini and Castellitto are standardized. Dramas told just to tell something, but without truly convincing content.

Fortunata showcases strong performances from Jasmine Trinca and Alessandro Borghi but falls short in delivering a cohesive and profound story. The film relies too much on superficial drama and light comedic moments that avoid exploring deeper human conditions. Characters and plot lack complexity, resulting in an underwhelming experience despite quality acting. Overall, the movie misses an engaging key to understanding the lives it tries to portray. Read the full review and decide if Fortunata’s strong performances outweigh its storytelling flaws.
