4/5
This intimate observational documentary explores poverty in Sicily from two different vantage points, drawing poetic connections between lives that don't appear to touch. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/10/2020
4/5
A very physical movie about poverty and loneliness, about people whose bodies are perhaps all they have. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Financial Times 12/10/2020
4/5
A lovely, lyrical fly-on-the-wall documentary which shares something of the hardscrabble poetry of Gianfranco Rosi's Fire at Sea, Il mio corpo threads together the lives of two boys on the cusp of manhood. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 09/03/2021
Although a late twist feels forced, the film's observational approach shares their specific stories while resonating as a powerful glimpse into contemporary adolescence that spans culture and geography. Go to Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue 12/14/2020
4/5
The sophomore director gives equal time and attention in exploring two sides of the same coin here, comparing and contrasting the plights of each young man. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 12/14/2020
