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
Rotten
[A] hilariously inscrutable exercise in pseudo-profundity.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Fresh
A civilized, mellow, and generally graceful chamber piece.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

A welcome reminder of Bertolucci's directorial assurance.
