Amanda

Carolina Cavalli

Italy 2022 93 min Italian with English subtitles

Although 24-year-old Amanda never had any friends, that’s what she most longs for. When she accidentally comes across a girl she knew as a child, she tries to convince her they’ve been best friends forever.                                                                                            Amanda is a film about friendship that examines, through an absurd, sophisticated comedy, the contradictions of the young generation whose hyper-connectedness doesn’t protect them from loneliness. It’s funny, the dialogue is sharp and every scene is brilliant with two show-stealing actresses.
