    Along the ridge was a story of a dis functional family told through the eyes of Tommi an 11 year old boy. He lived with his father Renato and sister Viola. Their mother Stefania had abandon them long time ago for some other man. Renato with all his problems he still loves this ki...( read more)ds and try to please them in what way he can. He wanted Tommi to be a professional swimmer, but Tommi's passion lies elsewhere, Football. When the mother suddenly appeared one day out of no where, there was hope and happiness in the family. But then she disappeared and leave the family again in despair. This movie was so real,beautifully directed by Kim Rossi Stuart who played the role of Tommi's father Renato. A must to see.

    Crafting first movie by the actor Rossi Stuart.A sweet and after a while tormenting Italian film challenging the traumas of youth from a strict and at the same time content father.When the mother is being...liberal (ironically,I sympathized with her more in the finale),daddy is b...( read more)eing mad but by no means a beater.Fury is present all over and yet...it seems a simple story.Good attempt.

    I was deeply moved by this film. Both leads (Kim Rossi Stuart & Alessandro Morace) are very outstanding, especially Morace (Tommi)- who has input so much energy and life into the complicated & mature than his age, but sometimes innocent character. And Morace grabbed himself a bes...( read more)t actor award by "Tommi" @ Flaiano Film Festival 2006. Stuart (also as the director) leaded really well on-off the camera. The last scene Tommi drops his tears... really melted my heart.

    An engaging Italian movie that sees well known actor Kim Rossi Stuart both behind and in front of the lens. The film brings the audience into the home and lives of the characters, as they struggle to face their individual daily challenges . First time actor Alessandro Morace was...( read more) a fine choice to play the troubled 11-year-old, Tommi, who is faced with difficult choices in school, and at times questions his loyalty to his volatile, but ultimatley likable father, played by Rossi Stuart. The films treatment of the interwoven family relationships is tense yet captivating, helped along by strong performances from 11 year old Morace and Rossi Stuart himself (who apparently was a last minute addition to the cast when the actor to play Renato left the project). Recommended.
