Variety - An intensely focused two-character drama about a young father's coming to terms with his severely handicapped son, Gianni Amelio's grippingly directed "The House Keys" radiates a warm humanity and uplifts the spirit. Subtle rather than sentimental, it lacks easy tears though attentive viewers will find it lacerating enough. Inspired by Giuseppe Pontiggia's autobiographical book "Born Two Times," film will undoubtedly win critical kudos, but given its difficult subject matter will require astute handling to reach out to wide audiences. Although the local favorite didn't win a prize at Venice, it enjoyed a fast opening weekend at the Italo B.O.
