Short description

Liam Neeson plays Robert, a bohemian London artist who travels to Italy with his estranged son Jack, played by Micheál Richardson. The two intend to sell a house they inherited from Robert's late wife, but the property in Tuscany is in poor condition, and the repairs keep them there longer than planned. Jack, whose marriage is falling apart, needs the money the sale would bring; Robert has been distant from his son for years. Time spent together in Italy forces them to confront the differences that have kept them apart.

The film is a comedy-drama directed and written by James D'Arcy, marking his debut behind the camera after a career as an actor, with Pippa Cross and Sam Tipper-Hale producing. The cast includes Valeria Bilello, Lindsay Duncan and Marco Quaglia. It runs 94 minutes and was made as a British-Italian production.

Released in July 2020, the film took about 3 million dollars worldwide. Audience reaction was moderate: it holds 6 out of 10 on IMDb from roughly 13,000 votes and 6 out of 10 on TMDB from around 300 votes. A critics' rating of 5.4 out of 10 from 88 reviews places it slightly below the audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Liam Neeson and Michael Richardson (who played Robert and Jack, respectively) experienced events mirroring those of their on-screen characters in real life. This occurred when Natasha Richardson, Neeson’s wife and Richardson’s mother, passed away.
  • Natalia’s restaurant (played by Valeria Bilello) is called Frantoio. This Italian word translates to “crusher” or a press used in the production of olive oil.
