3/4

“Mascarpone” cooks up quite the tempting treat, a hot romantic drama/comedy that joyfully celebrates sex and satisfaction.

3.5/5

Filmmakers Alessandro Guida and Matteo Pilati take a refreshingly open-handed approach to sex and sexuality, grounding the characters and situations in earthy honesty and sharp wit. So even if the plot feels a little contrived, it's thoroughly involving.

4/5

Less a rom-com, more a belated coming-of-age story, this is a film that lives up to its title. Rich, succulent and delicious, Mascarpone is a tasty treat, both on your plate and on screen.

the perfect dessert: sweet, but not too sweet…fun, flirty...with characters that are relatable, likeable, and seriously hot. Friendship, dating, and the mysteries of adulting are explored in this light and lovely feel-good movie.

There’s something refreshing about its reversing the usual equation of such movies.

[In certain moments] Mascarpone transcends its melodramatic tendencies and finds something akin to emotional honesty; if only the rest of the film had followed suit.

A great coming of age until they killed one of the characters off! That plotpoint felt super disjointed.

Sucks you in and keeps you there. One of the best films I have seen in a long time. Good acting, writing, cinematography, it's all in there. Soooo good.

This Mascarpone lack sweetness and lightness. The main character is one of the most annoying I have seen in a loooong time (even by the gay media standards). Pretentious, with outdated cliches (ofc one gay have to die so the other could "learn to appreciate life" - seriously!?) and leading to dissapointing, stale conclusions about living own life as You want etc.
