The film dives into the unsettling story of Sarah's disappearance, and while it's not a horror flick, it has its fair share of chilling moments. The emotional weight carried by Sabrina, Sarah’s cousin, is palpable and truly grips you. However, the pacing can feel uneven at times, as it oscillates between deep emotional scenes and moments that drag on a bit too long. The direction by Marco Rossi is commendable, but some viewers might find themselves longing for a more dynamic narrative. Still, the performances shine, especially from the lead actress, who brings a raw authenticity to her role. Overall, Qui non è Hollywood is a thought-provoking watch, but it’s not for those seeking a tidy resolution or light entertainment. Show less
