Chiara is a 2022 biographical historical drama film written and directed by Susanna Nicchiarelli.
Linguist Nadia Cannata provided assistance for adapting the dialogue from modern Italian.
[2] Nicchiarelli took inspirations for the musical numbers from films such as Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar.
[4] Nicholas Bell of IONCINEMA gave the film one out of five stars, writing, "While the subject matter lends itself to a necessary rigidity, Nicchiarelli only accomplishes in conveying a sense of the interminable in this ponderous exercise, attempting to enliven the production with musical numbers both distracting and cringeworthy.
"[6] Davide Abbatescianni of Cineuropa praised in particular Margherita Mazzucco as she "stands out in the cast on account of her seraphic and courageous portrayal of a girl and a woman who refuses to bend to her family’s violence or the pressure exerted by Cardinal Ugolini.
