What are critics saying?

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

Extraordinary labor of love.

100

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

A great experience, precisely because it's so intimate and unguarded.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Superb.

90

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

There is no denying the passion or intelligence of this work, which is meant to be an encouragement to explore the films for ourselves rather than a dry history lesson. On that level, "Viaggio" fully succeeds.

90

Variety by Deborah Young

Scorsese's heartfelt love letter to Italian movies up to 1961.

90

L.A. Weekly by F. X. Feeney

Has power not only as film scholarship, but as an inquiry into cinema's interplay with our collective memories and the nature of history itself.

70

New Times (L.A.) by Andy Klein

For most people, four hours pushes the outer comfort limits for theatrical viewing. My Voyage to Italy is well worth the time, but bringing along a thermos of espresso isn't a bad idea either.
