I finished Sex and Lucia and was left wondering what had just happened. After a little over 2 hours of watching Lucia, the title character, on screen as she wandered about her life, I was left feeling a bit bereft and very confused. And while you think that the film is from Lucia's point of view, it actually centers more around Lorenzo. Complicated? Yes.
