Richmond Hill's rating of the film Vito
Richmond Hill

Too neat a bow is tied on selective excerpts from exterior life with little notion of the man in this hurried-through documentary. As with much run-rate documentary it's too smooth, too illustrative and too scared of standing still for a minute to reflect. A maudlin constant-soundtrack spells out required emotions in case you were in any doubt.

Très intéressant pour quelqu'un comme moi qui ne connaissait pas Vito.
