Critics, per Wikipedia
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 98% of 43 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Guided by Gianfranco Rosi's eloquent directorial hand, Pompei: Below the Clouds captures life in a fragile, volcano-shadowed city with a deeply evocative, surprisingly hopeful cinematic mosaic." Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave the film four stars out of four and wrote that it's "gorgeous". Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the film five stars out of five, calling it "utterly distinctive" and "a ghostly yet luminous cinematic mosaic".

Hope he doesn’t use virtual production tech for an entire movie again. Whole cast is sleepwalking. His worst since Pompei.

unlabelledView post →I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed Pink Floyd: Live in Pompei. It’s the band, in 1972, performing to an artsy European film-crew in an otherwise empty Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii. Nostalgia evoked by the beauty and elegant force of the Gilmour-Wright songwriting partnership.

unlabelledView post →I broke my ankle in three places stepping off a step in the really safe (non-taxing) part of Pompei; every action movie I watch is accompanied by me muttering, “Well, THAT’S a broken ankle right there.” Spoilt all action films for me (and anyone watching with me).

unlabelledView post →Some belated in-flight movie reviews 2/22/26 Rome to Dulles - Sotho Le Nuvole (2025) - very poetic, slow, sad about time. Pompei and Naples. Gianfranco Rosi. Definitely not one you should watch on a small screen. Alas.
unlabelledView post →Fewer cinematic experiences are more frustrating than movies that fail to live up to expectations. And, regrettably, such is the case with this latest documentary from writer-director Gianfranco Rosi. While the title and billing for this release lead one to believe that it’s a film about the ancient Roman city of Pompeii and the volcanic catastrophe that destroyed it, there’s surprisingly little in this title addressing those subjects squarely on point. Rather, it’s more of a minimalist…
negative · AI labelView post →I shouldn’t have felt misled by the title of this rather dry and repetitive documentary, but I did. Instead of getting something archaeological and historical, I found myself watching something altogether more sociological and anthropic, and I must confess I wasn’t so very interested in that. With Mount Vesuvius making it’s presence felt nearby and with the tectonics beneath them suggesting a degree of planetary indigestion, the good folks of Naples are taking to their phones to ask their…
