What are critics saying?

Variety by

In keeping with Rosi’s style, there are no explanations and no interactions with the camera, and Sacro GRA suddenly ends without a sense of having come to any conclusions.

Empire by David Parkinson

A fun and insightful slice of Roman life. Next up, M25: The Movie?

The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young

Gianfranco Rosi (Below Sea Level, El Sicario: Room 164) brings humor and sensitivity to his filming of the strange denizens who live and work around the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome’s huge ring road.

The Playlist by Oliver Lyttelton

The 90-minute film feels shallow and, while Rosi has a good eye, not especially cinematic.

Total Film by Simon Kinnear

The cumulative effect offers a tender tribute to the resilience of his subjects’ spirits against the thrum of traffic.
