Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 48 reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Attenzione! The man who came out of post-war Italy to revolutionize the Western, Maestro Ennio Morricone, is masterfully captured in a documentary befitting his genius."[13] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 75 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[14]

A review in The Guardian stated: "his documentary represents a painstakingly detailed, fantastically entertaining, and profoundly exhausting deep dive into the career of the hyper-prolific Italian composer Ennio Morricone, known best perhaps for his orchestral scores for Sergio Leone (including the so-called Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West), Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers, Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900 – and a whole bunch of American films, ranging from the great (Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven, Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables) to the abominable (Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight)",[15] while another review in the same newspaper deemed that "As a piece of film-making, this documentary is cumbersome, repetitive and ploddingly conventional – all traits that were anathema to its subject, the late Italian film composer Ennio Morricone (1928-2020)."[16] A review in The Irish Times merged those divided assessments into one by saying "Tributes become repetitive but there’s much to enjoy in this documentary about Ennio Morricone".[17]

Awards

The film won the Nastro d'Argento 2022 for Best Documentary Film.[18]
