Featured review
Top ten series of all time
There are no words to describe this gem.
This series hits you deeply in your heart like no other.
So many authentic feelings,i was deeply moved.
I've never seen such intensity,duration,acting,adaptation even in
the old gems of Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De sica.
A million thanks to the producers,the exceptional director Saverio Costanzo and director Alice Rohrwacher,the two unbelievable little girls/protagonists (i think Ludovica Nasti and Elisa del Genio),the two again unbelievable main protagonists Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace,of course Elena Ferrante, and to all the crew and members of this magnificent accomplishment.
