Annalisa (2011)
The friendship between two Southern Italy kids is tested by their meeting with a young girl who's attempted suicide after failing to get married. Based on the novel "Il paese delle spose infelici" (literally, "Village of the Sad Brides", which is also the original title of this film) this elegantly photographed coming-of-age tale has sensitivity to spare but its stylish, yet understated, attitude doesn't easily win viewers over.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
