From Scratch

"🌟4/5🌟 A touching & emotional story. Saldana is really great in this role because she doesn’t overplay it — Both she & her “leading man” were superb at portraying the real-life married couple at the center of this story. Soldana is just gorgeous through & through, but the character she plays here is simply lovely on the inside as well. I’d definitely #recommend this movie if you enjoy #romance, the beautiful Italian countryside, art, & architecture. The #soundtrack & instrumental background music richly enhanced the overall tone & atmosphere of this soulful, romantic miniseries. "

"I ugly cried! Such a beautiful story"

"This was fine. Heartbreaking story of family and loss. The best part is 44 year old Zoe Saldana, who looks 20. She plays a saint of a women surrounded by other strong, beautiful women. The cast is fantastic. The music amazing. Did I get bored a few times? Eh. It was still a very nice watch. "

"LOVE this show, a wonderful and emotional story that pulls you in immediately. I also appreciated that they didnt shy away from having scenes in Italian/Sicilian and even displayed some aspects of the culture that I dont normally see mentioned. Honestly a 10/10, it couldnt have been done better!"

"This was an amazing limited series😢"

"I hated the beginning of this so much! I had no hopes but it slowly started catching my attention and when I lease expected I couldn’t control my tears. Zoe Saldanas work is amazing! "

"Prepare to fall in love and have your heart broken and sob your heart out. I had to answer to the door to the repair man after watching this and I look like I had been crying for hours. (Not too far from the truth) Such a beautiful, and true, love story."

"Absolutely a phenomenal watch. However, if you do tune in - be prepared for tears. Many many tears. This was so well done but truly heartbreaking. It’s worth your time!! "

"The chemistry and the acting in this series is what brought me to tears. It seemed so real and genuine, and watching Zoe Saldaña break into tears activated my water works. There is beautifully paced character development throughout the series, and I felt nothing but love watching their journey. "

"Book adaptation, true story"
