Some Say No is a new Italian comedy with a very serious subject: the way the country's society is corroded by favoritism that pushes inferior people to the top in virtually every field. In Florence, three thirty-somethings band together to wage their own war on the system. Each of them is a person of talent who has been pushed out by "favorites" or raccomandati, people who have muscled in on the promotions they ought to have gotten by pulling strings.
Acting
Argentero and Cortellesi's chemistry sells the desperation and hope.
Writing
Sharp satire of raccomandato culture that transcends Italian specifics.
Production
Florence as character—beautiful backdrop, ugly systems.
