Drama The story of an American artist living in Rome with his young European wife Nikki and their 3-year-old daughter, Deedee.

	Media	Author	Review
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Ferrara’s most personal work on many levels (...) [It's] a messy, ruminative self-portrait, elevated by Dafoe’s extraordinary performance and a striking intimacy that sets the movie apart from much of Ferrara’s work."
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Dafoe brings a pulsing gusto to Abel Ferrara’s sober, overlong, sporadically engaging self-portrait of his life in Rome"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"It’s fair to ask whether the world really needs one more story about a flawed, brilliant, lustful older male artist, but 'Tommaso'’s commitment to its own soul-searching fervour is potently feverish."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"About half of 'Tommaso' feels more vital than anything Ferrara has made in a while. But the film should have been shapelier and 20 minutes shorter"
		Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"A collection of hastily shot scenes (...) The biggest issue is just how uninvolving the entire experience turns out to be"
		Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"An intensely personal drama drawn from the lives of its director and star, this searching, organic, somewhat rambling film may appeal mainly to their fans, but it's a strong effort nonetheless"
		Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"An open-hearted, surprising, unique film about a filmmaker and recovering drug addict trying to stay clean (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
