Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
[Bertolucci] builds an homage to beauty around a sullen void.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
In contrasting the sexuality and rebellion of Lucy's generation with his own, Bertolucci clearly yearns to rekindle his creative spirit.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
rotten:
[A] hilariously inscrutable exercise in pseudo-profundity.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
7 Dec 2007
fresh:
A civilized, mellow, and generally graceful chamber piece.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

A welcome reminder of Bertolucci's directorial assurance.
