Italian filmmaker Paolo Genovese returns with 'The Many Voices of Love,' a romantic drama that attempts to explore themes of love and sexuality. The film features a couple—a furniture restorer and a divorced high school teacher—as they navigate their desires for each other. However, the story is cluttered with distracting thoughts and dialogues reminiscent of Woody Allen's style. The narrative tackles the complexities of modern relationships, yet some critics feel it falls short of effectively engaging the audience.

Kerstin Gezelius of Dagens Nyheter critiques the film for its reliance on a worn-out concept that fails to bring any fresh ideas to the table. She argues that although the premise has potential for humor and relatable scenarios, it is executed lazily, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. The film’s character development lacks depth, preventing viewers from fully connecting with their journeys, resulting in a missed opportunity for what could have been a lively exploration of romantic entanglements.

Overall, while 'The Many Voices of Love' attempts to combine romance with existential musings, it ultimately suffers from an overabundance of chatter and underdeveloped themes, according to critics. The film’s portrayal of love and relationships could have been more engaging had it been handled by a more inventive director, suggesting that despite its ambition, the film may not resonate well with audiences seeking a meaningful romantic narrative.
