"A local bar where an ostracized character adopts an exaggerated Italian persona and finds community, yet the place is depicted as a seedy 'dive' and populated with cartoonish Italian-costume tropes (A-shirt, gold chains, slicked-back hair). Rather than offering thoughtful commentary about identity or acceptance, the film uses the bar as a backdrop for lazy jokes and character disparagement from others who insist it isn’t authentically Italian." - Esra Erol
