The film never elevates beyond a sometimes ungainly and trifling exploration of themes and relationships exhibited more daringly and memorably in other works.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2019

It remains remarkable that, at the grand old age of 73, Bertolucci is still making films of intelligence and guile, let alone features about teenage angst and sexual maturation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 25, 2019

To Bertolucci's credit, he keeps his young characters' relationship platonic while still acknowledging Lorenzo's burgeoning sexuality.

| Aug 21, 2018

Comes across as a stylish exercise in willed claustrophobia without a great deal to say.

| Jul 31, 2018

[Me and You] is a modest film, then, but enjoyably so.

| Aug 29, 2017

The movie is slight but observant and not nearly as maestro-batory as some of Bertolucci's other work.

| Original Score: B | Dec 3, 2014

The defining emotion here... is a characteristic warmth toward -- and envy of -- young people coming into bloom.

| Aug 28, 2014

A minor effort at best, and disappointingly lacking a sense of energy or intent, "Me And You" is Bertolucci exercising his filmmaking muscles, but not flexing them.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 23, 2014

Despite Bertolucci's keen eye, Antinori's wolfish face, Falco's impressive work (watch her mischievous smile turn into a lean, hungry, vengeful stare in a bravura scene), and a few striking moments, a strong sense of going-through-the-motions persists.

| Aug 6, 2014

The film's a treat to watch, with luxuriant camerawork by Fabio Cianchetti and a gorgeous, intimate score by Franco Piersanti.

| Jul 31, 2014

Me and You sits on a very sharp edge for the duration as we watch this pasty and pimply-faced kid descend into self-pity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2014

A coming-of-age drama about a boy whose dream of being alone is shattered when his older half-sister brings him back to messy reality.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2014

Though the setting is a retreat from the world, where not terribly much happens, within its confines Lorenzo gets an eye-opener about both human frailty and interconnectedness, courtesy of someone even more troubled than he is.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 17, 2014

Bertolucci is indeed a master, and "Me and You" evidences numerous thematic connections to his earlier work as well as constant proof of his distinctive gifts as a stylist.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 4, 2014

Mostly what's missing in Me and You, what drains it of insight and resonance, is a sense of the world outside of Lorenzo's apartment building.

| Jul 3, 2014

Lorenzo, the bratty 14-year-old protagonist of Bernardo Bertolucci's "Me and You," is the quintessence of flailing adolescent angst.

| Jul 3, 2014

An underwhelming coming-of-age fable that skirts around its own lurid undertones.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 3, 2014

Bernardo Bertolucci's most negligible effort to date, in which he takes a familiar - for him - premise and does very little with it.

| Jul 3, 2014

Me and You has the reflection and patience of age, and the fleet-footed energy of youth.

| Jul 3, 2014

Bertolucci depicts Olivia's ordeal explicitly and the siblings' bonding tenderly. He makes eloquent use of the claustrophobic set.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2014
