Grosso guaio all'Esquilino - La leggenda del kung fu

I started watching this with no expectations at all, couldn't sleep and it was something light. But it hooked me from beginning to end. This movie is a small apologue about self-esteem, friendship and the causes of bullying. It is set in a very human and multiethnic Rome, where coexistence and respect have value. A sort of Karate Kid transplanted into Piazza Vittorio with affection, humor, and lightness. Acting is good and all characters are credible, even though a little sketchy. Crescentini's portrait of Asia, the mother, is intense and strong and Lillo's stereotypes are working, as usual, but, above all, the young hero's acting is really good.
