I started watching expecting to find a self celebrative auto biography with no inspiration, badly acted by italian tv actors. The movie is the transposition of a book by Bocelli on his own life. However the tone is not the one I expected to find.
The man did have a difficult life and sometimes caused part of his own problems. Many of the scenes from the childhood are sad. Effective. And natural. The scenery of Tuscany is a valuable actor around those scenes.
Some actors (the wife for instance) are not particularly good, but not so terrible either. The teacher, Banderas, was good.
In conclusion, the movie is watchable and could quite keep me watching it (and I am not really a Bocelli fan).
