Jeanine Nault“An adaptation that nearly rivals the books (easily the best books I’ve ever read), incredible casting”

Jeanine Nault“Oh my god, Ferrante's work is remarkable. The landscape is dirty, violent, and desperate. Her prose is highly naturalistic, but with the angst and hyperbole of adolescence. (Shoutout to Ann Goldstein's incredible translation, too)”
