==Reception== ''Variety's'' Jay Weissberg called the film "disappointing" and wrote: "In many ways, ''One Hundred Nails'' harks back to Olmi's earliest films, with a touch of Pasolini, evident not only in the locations but also the largely nonpro cast. Fabio Olmi's lensing repeatedly returns to the river's calm, presenting a timeless land of purer values than those of the city, though lacking the richness of his last two pics with father Ermanno."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Weissberg|first=Jay|date=7 May 2007|url=https://variety.com/2007/film/markets-festivals/one-hundred-nails-2-1200559567/|title=Review: 'One Hundred Nails'|work=Variety|accessdate=29 March 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402214946/http://variety.com/2007/film/markets-festivals/one-hundred-nails-2-1200559567/|url-status=live}}</ref> Geoff Andrew of ''Time Out London'' described it as "a bizarre, elegant gem", and wrote: "Not unlike a latterday, more effective ''Miracle in Milan'', this profoundly Catholic, profoundly personal fable veers, like many Olmi films, between the seemingly inept and the spellbindingly innocent, magical in its tenderness, its striking visuals and its unpredictability. Don't miss – but give it time."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Andrew|first=Geoff|url=http://www.timeout.com/london/film/one-hundred-nails|title=One Hundred Nails|work=Time Out London|accessdate=29 March 2015|archive-date=22 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150322225520/http://www.timeout.com/london/film/one-hundred-nails|url-status=live}}</ref>
