The review of Let me get a look at you
The comparison with sacred monsters of the “transvestist” comedy such as Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams might seem risky, but but Matilde Gioli proves to be up to the challenge, giving life to a multifaceted and engaging performance. Next to her, Pierpaolo Spollon confirms herself a versatile and ironic interpreter, offering a perfect shoulder for the protagonist. The character of Asia Argento is also nice, whose relationship with Sandra allows you to establish a sort of parallel bromance female.
The direction of Tiziano Russo is solid and accompanies the story with a dynamic rhythm, avoiding the slowness that often afflict Italian comedy. The film moves easily between humor and reflection, touching themes such as identity, authenticity and difficulty of dealing with the truth, without ever weighing down the narrative. Of course, some moments are less successful – such as the excess of pop music, with a sequence on Bye bye De The List representative who risks being exhausting-and the ending, which seems to want to send a message of female emancipation, is partially dampened by a post-tank tail scene that goes in the opposite direction.
