amir syarif siregar’s review published on Letterboxd:
While 'The Life Ahead' refrains from fully exploring the potential issues that arise in the story with its simplistic plot and sentimental nature, director Edoardo Ponti provides a beautiful story of respect, understanding and love between unlikely mother and son. A snapshot of an unexpected friendship born of mutual pain. Sophia Lauren shines in a charismatic role and effortlessly creates a strong presence whose rugged exterior slowly evaporates to reveal vulnerability born of trauma.
