My Big Gay Italian Wedding

Directed by Alessandro Genovesi1h 30m2018

A father, who calls himself "open" and tolerant and fights against any form of discrimination, reveals himself as not so liberal when his son announces the engagement to his partner. Overwhelmed by the news, he regresses into the most fierce opponent of same-sex marriage, and tries to undermine his son's happiness with a series of embarrassing situations.

Our read: My Big Gay Italian Wedding (2018) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
