Reviews
Critically, "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" received mixed to moderately positive reviews. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.3/10, indicating an average reception among viewers. Critics have praised the film's evocative cinematography and the compelling performances of Alba Rohrwacher and co-star Luca Marinelli for authentically conveying the emotional depth of their characters. The film’s poetic approach and its metaphorical title have been appreciated for adding layers of meaning to the narrative. However, some reviewers felt that the film's slow pacing and introspective mood might alienate audiences looking for more dynamic storytelling. For instance, Rolling Stone highlighted the "haunting visuals and empathetic performances" but noted that "the film’s narrative occasionally feels fragmented and somber to a fault." Rotten Tomatoes does not have a score for this film, reflecting its limited release and niche appeal. Overall, the movie is recognized for its artistic ambition and thoughtful exploration of emotional isolation, although its contemplative style may not suit all tastes.
