Liv Tyler is radiant, but the film itself suffers from the same self-indulgence that always hampers Bertolucci's work.

A civilized, mellow, and generally graceful chamber piece.

Even a lesser Bertolucci is an event, and Stealing Beauty has its charms.

The script is in keeping with the fabric of the film. It's languid and meanders about a bit, but, coupled with the lush and inviting Tuscany countryside, this is not a bad thing at all.

Meditation on sex, life, death; older teens only.

[A] hilariously inscrutable exercise in pseudo-profundity.

A welcome reminder of Bertolucci's directorial assurance.

I find it to be one of his most sublime achievements, filled with a sunny laziness and slow awakening.
May 12, 2001
In contrasting the sexuality and rebellion of Lucy's generation with his own, Bertolucci clearly yearns to rekindle his creative spirit.

Gorgeous Tuscan scenery and a breakthrough performance by Liv Tyler help make this sudsy flick entertaining.

[Bertolucci] builds an homage to beauty around a sullen void.
