Review of The Etruscan Smile (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 04 Jan 2022

I really enjoyed this film, as a Scot watching the older dad/grandad not mincing his words (as it were) in America. Its about a serious subject, seeking treatment for cancer but the film is mostly quite light hearted and amusing.

I enjoyed the various interactions he had with American locals and how they responded/reacted to him. It was also funny seeing how his relatives reacted to his inability to speak his mind at times!. I liked the depictions of rural Hebridean Scotland and the film itself was quite amusing and a very enjoyable watch overall.

Its a somewhat poignant and thought provoking film, perhaps even a feel good film in a sense which I really enjoyed and so I'd happily recommend it, yes.
