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

[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

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

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

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

Me And You is modest and unhurried, at a pace with its ailing director.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2014

Not even Bernardo Bertolucci's choice of a lead actor with visible facial acne scars, in a welcome gesture toward authenticity, is enough to overcome the gaping hole of psychological nuance at the center of the film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 1, 2014

It's a tender film with great affection for these two souls; but it's also slight and formulaic, with persistent off-key notes, like the youngsters' 1970s-'80s taste in music.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 30, 2014

An intimate, miniature and subterranean coming-of-age drama ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 27, 2014

There's something oddly endearing about Me and You, a minor work from the master filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 26, 2014

Bertolucci, despite his obvious affection for Lorenzo, can't help but seem out of touch, and his hero looks and sounds less like a modern-day teen than an old man's wistful idea of one.

| Jun 24, 2014

While Bertolucci has made many more notable movies, you have to admire his constant quest for a glimmer of truth.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2013

It's a pleasing if minor piece of work, like a semi-precious stone that you'd still keep.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2013
