The director's "Stealing Beauty" and "The Dreamers" were both sympathetic but prurient films about teenage sensual awakenings. Me and You is sweeter and more resonant, and a potent comeback for the 73-year-old director of "Last Tango in Paris" and "The Last Emperor."

Lorenzo is a teenage boy lost in his own inner world. When his class goes to the mountains for a week to ski, Lorenzo secretly stays in the basement of his apartment building. However, his loneliness is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of an unfamiliar girl.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
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.
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.
The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
A lot of banality gets passed off here as profound thought. That and the somewhat self-conscious actors make it difficult to engage much with either character.
New York Post by Farran Smith Nehme
More a tribute to youth and its discontents than a fresh exploration.
Slant Magazine by Kenji Fujishima
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.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
A slight but engaging two-hander.
Ultimately, such a stir-crazy two-hander can only be as interesting as its actors.
It’s a pleasing if minor piece of work, like a semi-precious stone that you’d still keep.
