I'm also a little surprised with the kind of reviews The Best of Youth has garnered but am not disturbed by them. A 6-hr film doing well critically, and, from what I've heard, commercially - at least at theaters bold enough to program it - is fine by me. I think some of our critics haven't been able to distinguish its "made-for-tv" aspects from the overall sense of grandeur it presents spanning many decades. Marco Tullio Giordana's latest film is in-competition at Cannes this year.

I don't think too many people consider Don't Move a "masterpiece." I don't either but I certainly liked it a lot more than you did. Time permitting, will write more about it.

The Keys to the House (the official American title) did disappear quickly after opening here in December. Lions Gate will release it on DVD on June 28th.
