Aria is a nine-year-old girl who no one seems to understand or want. Her parent's get a divorce and her older sisters are pampered by either parent, Lucrezia by her dad and Donatina by her mom. Aria is quite literally tossed between both parents, being kicked out of her mom's to go to her dad's then being kicked out of her dad's to go to back to her mom's and all over again. Aria's only friend Angelica seems to be the only one who understands her, but she too turns against her. Giulla Salemo does a great job at portraying a girl who only wants to be loved by her parents. Her actions show the viewer that she is sincerely attempting to win over the hearts of her self-centered parents. Aria does what any detested nine-year-old would do, she tries to impress her parents with her talent, which for her is writing. The story-line made sense, although it neglected to have a more elaborate one that is why I did not give the film ten stars. Also, there was some repetitiveness in the film that wasn't entirely necessary. Furthermore, it was overall an interesting film to watch.

The Italian film Me, Myself, and Her, examines the relationship of two middle aged women. The one, Monica used to be a film actress and is openly lesbian. While Federica was once married to a man and is sheepish about having been with a woman for the past 5 years. Margherita Buy (Federica) does a great job at expressing her confusion about her feelings with her actions. You can see it all in Sabrina Ferilli (Marina) face that she is utterly torn by this heartbreaking fact, that the woman she loves might want to be with someone else. Both actresses are great at using their facial expressions and body language to show the viewers how torn they are about what's happening with their relationship.

When I first started watching the film I felt like there was a lot of pointless scenes of Monica and Federica just spending time with each other. Although, after further watching the many scenes of them doing things together it came together and made sense. The film also seemed to have really good footage, for the most part, the scenes were taken from different angles, and they did make sense. The one thing that I didn't really care for is how the film ended, I think there could have been more to it.
