No matter how adorable Gianni Di Grigorio actually is, this film feels like a second rate attempt to repeat the freshness of the far superior "Mid-August Lunch". There are a few worthwhile moments though.
At times, the sad sights are enough to make a person hope the put-upon guy finds success. The problem is, as affable as Giovanni is, there's not much more to him. Full Review
Though you can empathize with Gianni's loneliness, the lecherous buffoon is too much of a stock type to feel fresh. At times, the comedy is shamelessly broad. Full Review
Imbued with gentle humor and a kind of bittersweet resignation, The Salt of Life isn't life-changing - it's life-describing. Full Review
The film is full of low-key but telling observations, mostly about Gianni's plight but also about modern life in general. Full Review
This is a movie about a man who is past his shelf life. Full Review
A quietly insistent parable of male menopause, "The Salt of Life'' ambles along the line between comedy and melancholy, rarely making a misstep but rarely looking up. Full Review
Like the aroma of a meal you wish you'd eaten, "The Salt of Life" is the faint suggestion of a movie you wish you'd seen. Full Review
Rueful, funny and wise, "The Salt of Life" is a comedy not of errors but of the tiniest of missteps. Full Review
