From Academy and BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, LA GRAZIA is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Toni Servillo -- winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival -- stars as Italy's outgoing president, Mariano De Santis, navigating moral and personal crossroads with the help of his confidante and daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). With Sorrentino's signature poetic vision and an evocative soundtrack, this heartfelt masterwork is an intimate meditation on fatherhood, conscience, and the enduring question: who owns our days?

Critics Consensus

Celebrating the virtues of fortitude and patience, La Grazia is an atypically restrained effort from writer-director Paolo Sorrentino that reunites him with the dependably majestic Toni Servillo.

Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Dec 15
Most assuredly, though, this is a duo of director and star once more moving in concert together, maybe not as confidently as with some previous efforts, but with a knowing intelligence. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Dec 6
3/4
It’s a startling image, in a movie full of startling, sometimes unexpected ones (like that of a robot dog making a late entrance in this picture). Go to Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Dec 5
Mr. Sorrentino is only in his 50s (and Mr. Servillo, in his 60s, is younger than the man he portrays), yet he has made a film about seniority that captures its subject so sensitively that it is, in an unassuming way, glorious. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 3d
La Grazia ultimately will be minor Sorrentino, but it still offers enough fodder for the eye and mind to warrant a watch. Go to Full Review Beandrea July FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31
It becomes a very thoughtful meditation of forgiveness, regret, and moving forward. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Dec 20
I’m not sure it actually has anything to say. And this director has been gilding a sort of old windbag’s wistfulness for “the good old days” so long already, where can he go from here? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tushar G Jan 7 what a perfect movie See more Lucia Jan 5 Anyone who appreciates the storytelling style of Paolo Sorrentino and his collaborative process with Toni Servillo will want to see this film — another fresh take on self reflection, lifes meaning, the importance of whats true or not true, and the impact of the choices we make. I was captivated for the entire 2 hrs and 11 minutes. See more Lorenzo G @garofalo_lor 1d La Grazia is Servillo's most recent work, based on instant symbolism and seasoned with grotesque. It deals with themes that are very relevant and significant not only for the director - we know how self-referential cinema is in itself, and Sorrentino even more so - but also for people's lives, especially those of middle age and older. There are profound moments interspersed with pure grotesqueness and irony. But that's the beauty of it: having the ability to be extremely sharp in analysing and addressing feelings and sensations while taking the piss out of the viewer with almost random sequences. We move from the moral dilemma of a former Christian Democrat on euthanasia to an almost profane ridicule of the papal image; from the processing of grief to an inability to move on from a betrayal forty years earlier that makes us smile; from prison conditions to Guè's rap.I think the strength of the film lies precisely in this continuous tension between depth and lightness. See more Сonstant R @raykon Feb 9 pure masterwork, absolute must see ! See more Lee B. @Elenaferrante Feb 9 Smart, elegant , beautifully shot and expertly acted. A great study on aging, family, duty and the meaning of grace. I loved this movie. See more Henry D Feb 8 Beautiful, elegant, thoughtful, poetic, deep, rich and surprising. See more Read all reviews
