Slant Magazine
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. - 60
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. - 60
The Guardian
A slight but engaging two-hander. - 60
The Telegraph
It’s a pleasing if minor piece of work, like a semi-precious stone that you’d still keep. - 60
Total Film
Script and acting are flawless – but set beside Bertolucci’s glory years (The Conformist, Last Tango In Paris, Novecento) it all feels a bit slight. - 60
New York Daily News
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." - 50
Variety
Ultimately, such a stir-crazy two-hander can only be as interesting as its actors. - 50
New York Post
More a tribute to youth and its discontents than a fresh exploration.
