Comment: It doesn't appear this film is notable enough, please add more substantial, reliable and independent sources in order to prove notability. Awards section is completely unsourced, and the draft seems more like an unfinished sketch than anything. More context would be appreciated. Best wishes. NeoGaze (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Reception
[edit]Italian Criticism
[edit]Although the film caused division during its presentation at the Berlinale, the italian critics have usually judged Luongo's first work positively, appreciating its social aspects:[4][5]
«"The Last Beautiful Thing" is a generational cry [...] At the Berlin Film Festival the film splits the audience in two»
— Domenico Iovane, InDialogo, 17 febbraio 2025
and the directorial line adopted for the narration:[1]
«The young director's film goes beyond denunciation. It is a real slap in the face to today's society, which knows, is aware, but sometimes, keeps away from youthful desperation.»
— Ilaria Cotarella, Il Mattino, 20 marzo 2025
