Genre
Drama
A hybrid period movie and fiction story following the life of infamous media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi and his real or imagined exploits in Italy between 2006 and 2010. In this amoral and decadent thriller, we are drawn into the dark world of business, politics, and corruption.
Film Threat by Hunter Lanier
If being dull is the cardinal sin of the movies, as Capra supposedly said, then Sorrentino is a saint. There’s not a dull moment in Loro, whether it’s the hypersexual, reality-bending party scenes or the quiet backroom conversations where the truth comes at the characters so unexpectedly, they don’t have time to prepare their usual defenses. All of it is visceral pleasure at an eye-bleeding volume.
Rolling Stone by David Fear
Director Paolo Sorrentino’s gorgeously gaudy, chalice-runneth-over satire, is really about one person: Silvio Berlusconi.
Movie Nation by Roger Moore
The emptiness of oligarchy and a ruling kleptocracy feels both distinctly Italian and innately universal in Loro.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
It’s a truly epic wallow in the sins of a charismatic and indulgent strongman, even if it never exactly balances out its lurid shimmer with lasting psychological resonance.
