Reception
A review from La Stampa wrote: "Filmed at a slow pace, as if to follow every symptom of its protagonist's crisis, Una macchia rosa stands apart from commercial productions due to its complete lack of clichés or crowd-pleasing gimmicks. Aside from a touch of excessive melancholy in the final scenes, Muzii's work is cohesive, solidly supported by the performance of Giancarlo Giannini and the women around him".[3] A contemporary Variety review noted: "Enzo Muzii [...] reconfirms is maturing talent with this followup pic, an intimately-glimpsed, splendidly-lensed tale set in present day Rome.".[4]
