Our take
Italian master Carlo Mazzacurati directs Valentina Lodovini in this lyrical and very personal small-town tale. Elegantly photographed and echoing the cinema of Fellini and Olmi, The Right Distance cleverly observes moral prejudice while resonating far beyond the microcosm of its characters.
