An astute study of amour fou and a cautionary tale about how the worship of false idols can lead to personal and national collapse.
David Jenkins, Time Out

Bellocchio has turned the story of Mussolini's discarded wife and son into a movie that has some of the bully swagger and excess of Il Duce himself.

The untold story of how fascist strongman Benito Mussolini rose to power by trampling on the woman who loved him is a bracingly cinematic lesson in how all politics is personal.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Vincere is a thrilling period drama about the power of delusions.
