This crisis forces him to weigh the value of his daughter's life and his own. This spark leads us into his past affair with Italia, a tender but damaged soul who works as a hotel maid, and on whom Timoteo risks his marriage to Elsa, a beautiful journalist. Seemingly unaware of her husband's affair, Elsa lets Timoteo lead his double life, until that is, she gets pregnant and he has to make a choice -- a decision that will break both his and Italia's hearts. However, Angela, the light of his life, was born from this tragic tale, and it is she who has made his life worth living.

    An interesting movie. Sometimes a little confusing as Timoteo is remembering the past as his daughter is going through a life and death surgery. We find out he was about to leave his wife for a sultry Italia (Penelope Cruz), but chose to stay with his wife when she became pregn...( read more)ant.

    I hate Penelope Cruz but this is really some actin. Castellitto of course, can't put a foot wrong. Very romantic, very despairin, very nice.

    After recently watching Betty Blue I see some similarities between these two movies but Don't Move has a much better story line. Penelope Cruz is OUTSTANDING in this movie! I loved her performance and also Sergio's. Their relationship is downright insane and unfortunately I can...( read more) relate to some of what they go through. Very interesting storyline keeps your attention until the very end. This movie made me cry for Penelope's character. Very moving, worth watching!!!

    The movie is very powerful but the screenplay could have used so changes to make the story more emotional nd touching so that the flash backs the main character is having might have a full meaning. The journeys the memories of a doctor after his daughter has been badly injured in...( read more) an accident and he remembers his love affair with a simple poor woman. I thought that if his daughter was in fact the child he had with that woman all the memories could have come into order more to form a beautiful touching story. But still the movie told a very heartfelt story that is hard to forget. And i loved how the main character was written, he has many complexities and they all appeared during his intimate moments with women and the actor demonstrated them in a very good way. But Penelope Cruz did an EXCELLENT job she was stunning. I was surprised by how she lost weight and the way they changed her look and she changed her walk and talk and everything. She entered into her character and im sorry she wasn;t nominated for an Oscar, it was such a waist.

    An intriguing movie. Fascinating story plot. Here's a movie filled with a bit of drama, and love gained and lost.

    Penelope Cruz in a standout performance as a trashy mixed-up girl who becomes sexually involved with a repressed married doctor. You know its all going to end badly.

    Not as good as I would have liked it to be, but it was OK. I loved the song in the end: Un senso by Vasco Rossi!

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Castellitto keeps cranking up the melodrama and l'amour fou, and after a while you realize he has no idea when to stop. full review

Preposterously bad. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

What could have been a provocative psychological drama is instead a dishonestly romantic exploration of narcissism and exploitation. full review
