I've a very simple task. I thought I knew how to solve it but there's
something I'm surely missing.

I got film and scores for the film. In table "film" and "punteggio"
(score). I want a join returning all the films and the votes
expressed by the user(s).  If the user did not vote I want a NULL.

I only get films for which a vote was expressed. My query:

       SELECT f.id, f.titolo, p.voto
       FROM film_film f
       LEFT OUTER JOIN vota_punteggio  p
       ON (f.id = p.film_id)
       WHERE
       (p.user_id = 2 OR p.user_id IS NULL)


Can you help me understanding what is wrong?
TIA
