The 2020 comedy-drama movie Made in Italy stars Liam Neeson as a widowed man who reconnects with his estranged son – who else is in the cast?

Made in Italy features a cast of mostly Italian actors, which shouldn’t surprise most, given the title of the movie, and two related stars from Ireland

The 2020 comedy-drama was directed and written by James D’Arcy, and the film revolves around a complicated relationship between a father and his son, who come together to sell their old Italian home and confront demons from their past.

The movie had a limited theatrical release in August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so it only grossed a little under $3 million at the box office.

Made in Italy was also released on video on demand (VOD) in August 2020, where it performed well. However, the comedy-drama ultimately received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences.

The film currently holds a 44 percent score on the Tomatometer and a 40 percent Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. Some critics claimed that D’Arcy’s feature directorial debut contains strong performances from the cast and benefits from its picturesque setting but falters slightly due to its forgettable story.

Nevertheless, many agreed upon the impressive cast performances, especially from the movie’s two leads.
