I watched "È stata la mano di Dio" and I agree with The Punisher (I also agree with those who criticize the latter for a certain carelessness in their review).
The film is truly mediocre and the praises and tributes I read here and there are completely unjustified. As already in "La grande bellezza," the ideas of others (especially Fellini and Francesco Rosi) are presented again with bright colors and in high definition in an attempt to create a socially contextualized Campanian Amarcord in the 1980s (but without the inventions, grace, and magic of the former and without the clear sociological analysis of the latter). A banal narrative that unfolds laboriously between stereotypes and images from a tourist board (and the notes of "Napule è" by Pino Daniele with the closing credits are not missing either!).
I won’t dwell on the observation that the only "great beauty" of the film is that of Luisa Ranieri because the truth, once revolutionary, quickly becomes obvious and I won't dwell on Toni Servillo's mediocre performance, who in the film seems to have taken Alvaro Vitali's "Pierino" as a reference, chuckling at his own poor jokes because... it's almost Christmas.
