Am I the only one that didn't like this movie?

SPOILERS
The story is full of inconsistencies and holes. We never know why she never to took the papers from the stuffed bird. We never know what happened to the son, he only appears twice when he's an adult and in the last scene he is at the hospice (when?).
Nothing is told about the evolution of Mussolini. In the beginning, he is a socialist and, then, he is a fascist. He was an atheist and then he gave the church a state. How did that happen? We never know.
Mussolini disappears after a while, never to be seen again in the movie. But I find his portrayal in the beginning to be little more than a caricature. The scene where he is naked in front of the plaza, like a major macho, is just ridiculous. I guess that people like to think that dictators are all wackos but the reality is far more complex.
In the same line, I have to ask, how did Mussolini came to power? Again, we never find out.
The movie is not about Mussolini, but about a supposed romance, I know. But even that story has major flaws.
The only thing worthwhile was Giovanna Mezzogiorno, her acting is brilliant.
