There is nothing egregiously wrong with the movie, but you should not expect a Hollywood movie, nor an avant-garde art film. The story was captured in a very simple and plain style, which reminds of Italian TV series, especially the historical ones. It can be a little underwhelming for Italian viewers, because that's Leopardi and you would expect something a little more exciting about such a genius. However it's a nice summary of his life and a good entry point if you want to start getting into him. Also, the scenery is beautiful because it's obviously filmed in the picturesque landscape of Recanati, and in Naples for the last part of Leopardi's life. If you can find a subtitled version just go for it.
