Mascarpone (2021 film)

Thanks to Denis and Luca, Antonio discovers that being single can be nice as well and that it was wrong of him to give up his independence and rely on his husband for everything in life for the sake of their relationship.

"[5] Denis Harvey of 48hills writes that "there’s something refreshing about its reversing the usual equation of such movies: rather than true love providing the inevitable narrative solution, here it’s suggested Antonio may be better off further exploring his own still-new independence before becoming half of a couple again.

This very pleasing movie’s debt to Paul Mazursky’s 1978 An Unmarried Woman is made explicit when it closes on a replication of that film’s final scene.

"[6] For Rolling Stone Italia, "the 'gay dramedy' is well written and acted," while for Mymovies.it declared that "the dialogues return a communicative dynamic alien to the straight community but precisely for this reason interesting," despite the fact that the directorial imprint is "rather conventional but never sloppy or approximate.

"[8] Massimino de Febe of Universal Movies notes that the novelty lies in the avowed homosexuality of the main characters, presented with such simplicity that it does not characterize the film's plot on the thematic strand, but rather makes it more neutral and thus more accessible to a wide audience.
