Show more >> Watching Alessandro Cattelan: One Simple Question is like sitting down for a chat with an old friend who has a knack for bringing interesting people together. While I appreciated the film's intention to explore happiness, it often felt like a series of celebrity soundbites rather than a cohesive narrative. Cattelan's charm is undeniable, and his interactions with guests are frequently amusing, but I found myself craving deeper insights. The film's light-hearted approach sometimes glosses over the complexities of happiness, leaving me wanting more substance. Still, it’s a pleasant watch, especially if you enjoy celebrity interviews. Just don't expect to walk away with profound revelations about life. Show less
