“The upsetting story affects by its aesthetic means: neat transitions take us into the tragic childhood of the protagonist and leave us with an oppressive sensation.”

(Extract jury statement – achtung berlin: April 22, 2006)

“Peer Raben, private composer to Rainer Werner Fassbinder, once alleged that the void Fassbinder left behind could not have been filled up yet. This must be qualified. Just go watch the atmospheric short Niemand liebt Dich so wie ich by Luca Zamai & Olivier kayser. Even the future of German cinema seems guaranteed.”

(Nieuws – International Filmfestival Gent: Oktober13, 2006)

“The director Luca Zamai manages to immediately place us in a unique atmosphere – of mourning, remembering and hoping with the daughter. His successful casting and the precise direction of the actors permit us to participate in the feelings of the characters.
The narrative using scraps of memory – a well known filmic topos – is intelligent, mature and new here. The images affect you and make you pensive at the same time. The director knows his work: Whoever has escaped from the hellhole of the family is also strong enough to close a terrible chapter in a day. The quality of the poetic narrative even prevails against the often overpowering sound design. A sensitive film that tells such a tragic story with feeling.”

(Extract jury statement – Filmfest Dresden: April 22, 2007)

“My pick of the evening was No One Loves You Like I Do (dir. Luca Zamai), a skillful, moody film about an adult woman confronting her choices of the past. The film’s sensitive direction and haunting score impressed me more than any mainstream movie I had seen recently.”

(Theophilus Jamal The Eagle: July, 2007)

“Incredibly economic in its rapid imagery, the film recounts moments from her teenage years when she left home because of an unwanted pregnancy. Intrusive camerawork and sound make this a powerfully intimate work.”

(Review by Greg Pittard – Cambridge Filmfestival: July 13, 2007)
