A teenager tells his parents he is going on a ski trip and spends the time alone in the basement.

Critics Consensus

A minor entry in a magnificent filmography, Me and You doesn't stand with Bertolucci's greatest works, but it's still an engaging character study.

Sight & Sound

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.

Entertainment Weekly

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

Rated: B

The film never elevates beyond a sometimes ungainly and trifling exploration of themes and relationships exhibited more daringly and memorably in other works.

Rated: 2/5

CineVue

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.

Rated: 3/5

To Bertolucci's credit, he keeps his young characters' relationship platonic while still acknowledging Lorenzo's burgeoning sexuality.

Do yourselves a favor, and read NiccolÃ² Ammaniti.'s book instead! Unfortunately, the last work of the great Bernando Bertolucci, is going to be remember just for that: be the last one. Reading the book before, did not help.

It doesn't quite feel like a Bernado Bertolucci film, but maybe the modern soundtrack music accounts for this - look out for the scene with different Italian lyrics to David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'. It's a steady film about isolation, loneliness and relationships that looks good and expertly directed.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Amazing story based on today's adolescent generation isolation problems, represented by two siblings living apart but coming closer in the boy's house basement. There he hides from his mother - avoiding to go to school's excersion. Excellent acting from Tea Falco and J. O. Antinori.

I really liked it, but what's with the bizarre choice of songs? "Space Oddity" in Italian? RHCP? whaaat. PLUS what's with the Gus van Sant tendencies? :D

You can feel Bertolucci's personality in it. It wasn't bad, yet lame pseudo-young details showed old fashioned director. It felt idealistic and lame. Watchable, yet I'd like more.
