"My Brother Is An Only Child reminisces with improbable yet affecting fondness over the adolescents behind the -isms that would shape post-war Italy."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

"Surprisingly funny, good-looking and a true showcase for the talents of rising star Elio Germano."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

3/5
"works best as an Italian dramedy with its history used as window dressing and any original thought kept happily to itself."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

2/4
"My Brother Is an Only Child moves so playfully and briskly you may not notice its glibness, which may have been director Daniele Luchetti's intent."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

4/5
"A spunky, memorable, and emotionally touching Italian film about the quest for personal transformation through politics."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"A handsomely-made, brightly charming pleasure."  Cinematical  James Rocchi

2.5/5
"If the political backdrop is not alienating, Accio's actions might be. As he swings from one side of the pendulum to the other, he remains at arm's length"  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

B
"In this lively drama of rebellion and revolution, emotion is even more inflammatory than politics."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

7/10
"Tells a familiar story in a familiar way with conviction and no small amount of talent on both sides of the camera, though it's hardly essential."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
