"Put Grandma in the Freezer" was released in 2018 as an Italian dark comedy that combined quirky humor with crime elements. Upon its initial release, it received mixed reviews—critics praised its unique premise and performance by the leading cast, but some found the tone uneven and the humor hit-or-miss. Over time, however, the film has garnered a small but dedicated following. Thanks to its offbeat storyline and blend of dark comedy with social commentary, it is now often regarded as an underrated gem within Italian cinema. Fans appreciate its originality and the way it tackles financial desperation with humor, leading to a reassessment that elevated it beyond its modest beginnings.
