Our take
A former assistant director to Italian auteur Nanni Moretti, Daniele Luchetti followed up his moving My Brother Is an Only Child with this turbulent portrait of Roman suburban life. Featuring a ravishing performance from actor Elio Germano, Our Life is an inspired piece of social realist cinema.
