Ratings and reviews

I would want to know why this movie is so awesome. I was researching my last name and this popped up. I'm Italiano. It's this based on my great great great... grandfather?

This movie is a masterpiece, I love movies like Tetro. The movies that depict the human condition and the hardships of life are true films, and Tetro, is definitely one of those movies.

A masterpiece, one of Coppola's best movies.
