Plot: It is a documentary about the predicament of Italy through various instances like its Prime Minister or through Corona etc. especially focussing on the situation of celebrity worship.

What you may like:

1. This documentary is very powerful in its claim and is extremely compelling throughout the movie.

2. The experience of watching this documentary would be rather mixed with a blend of emotions of excitement as well that of shock giving a unique sort of experience.

3. The idea that this documentary has been very novel and unique describing well the kind of scenarios that Italy was going through and explaining various predicaments of the same.

4. More than the fact that it is a novel idea that they propagated or the kind of mixed emotions that this documentary evokes, it more of an eye opening shock that the viewers get after looking at the documentary.

What you may dislike:

1. Despite the fact that it has a very original storyline to tell, the documentary may seem to drag at a tortoise pace leaving you very impatient in the process. It is only if you have a knack for an eye-opening documentary can you watch it without losing patience.

2. It may claim to be absolutely true using various archives and footages, but it works only on a very superficial level. The fact that it just brushes on some three instances and not goes beyond that leaves you wanting for more and you start craving for depth for it to be called a credible and well-built documentary.

3. With the various claims that the documentary makes it is slightly difficult for a person not to feel depressed after viewing it as it is very heavy on the heart.

Verdict: If you have a knack for viewing difficult and depressing documentaries I will suggest you to watch it, although it may prove to be eye opener definitely!
