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

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The defining emotion here... is a characteristic warmth toward -- and envy of -- young people coming into bloom.
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.
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.
