Made in Italy

Movie 2020 94 min Comedy, Drama Checked by Dan S · 23 Oct 2026
Official Rating M ClearAge 15+

Why our age differs

Official is M. We say 15+ because frequent strong language and unresolved grief make this a harder watch than a soft family drama

Our take

Made in Italy is a gentle repair story set in a crumbling country house, where grief and stubborn pride keep a father and son at odds. Strong language is frequent, with the f-word and s-word in family fights. Wine and whiskey appear, and romance stays light. We land at M and up because the swearing and the emotional weight of mourning ask for older teens

Uplifting themes

Repairing a crumbling home becomes a way to repair a fractured relationship. Creativity and patience slowly beat stubborn silence Both men stumble, snap, then try again in small practical ways. Neighbours and a new connection offer steadier kindness beside them

Story (may spoil tone)

A bohemian artist travels from London to Italy with his estranged son to sell the house they inherited from his late wife.
