  "It’s a masterwork by a modern movie man, for whom images have effaced the boundary between life and art."

  "For all his apparent casualness, Mr. Moretti is a perfectionist who shapes his material with subtle care. With a seductive rhythm, the film alternates between wry encounters and lovely restful interludes, the latter presented so soothingly that they create a contemplative mood. (An elegiac, wordless visit to the place where the director Pier Paolo Pasolini was killed is one example.) Beautiful Italian scenery is also among this film's many pleasures."
  Janet Maslin, The New York TImes

  "His "Caro Diario," a diary-film with all the rhythms and exaggerations of a good standup comedy act, isn't just a personal work. It's almost ferociously personal, dauntingly candid. "Caro Diario" won Moretti the Best Director's prize at the last Cannes Film Festival. (Among others, he beat out Zhang Yimou and "Pulp Fiction's" Quentin Tarantino.) Good as "Diario" is-and it's certainly one of the year's best comedies-it only whets your appetite for more. "

  "Why do I love it? Why should you see it, if you haven't? Perhaps most of all for a sequence, a third of the way through, where the narration falls away and we follow Moretti to the place outside Rome where Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered in November 1975 – vast, swooping takes filmed behind the Vespa, cut to an ecstatic piano improvisation by Keith Jarrett. It's made of light, movement, rhythm; flickering shapes and stillness. Which is, when you think about it, all that cinema really is."

  "[One of] the three best movies you can watch at home now...it’s a fun, refreshing film for those yearning for a peek of the sunny Italian countryside and some musings on cinema and the self."

  "[A] heroic tale, told with a child’s wide-eyed wonder."

  "Fresh and relevant yet always playful, “Caro Diario” features a modern Italian comedian, whose genius places him not only in the good company of Woody Allen and his elders too, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin."

  ""Caro Diario"... is held together by Moretti's wit, his self-effacing personality, and by his singular ability to conjure both joy and sadness out of the surreal. "
  Ken Shulman, The International Herald Tribune
