Beautifully lit, visually close to perfect. Aug 26, 2010 Interesting story, believably acted and beautifully lit. The colors and shades of light are the highlight of the film to me... well, and Eva Green.
Good but not great May 10, 2010 The acting here is tremendous, and the naivite exhibited by all of these youngsters makes you believe every single second. However, though the sexuality in the film can be labeled as metaphor, never-the-less it seems overused and un-magical; at times, even awkward for the viewer. But, it's still great, possibly Bertolucci's best of the modern era.

Disgusting, Banal, Stupid... But has everything a critic would love... May 05, 2010 Disgusting, Banal, and Stupid.
But hey, at least it has everything an unintelligible mainstream film critic would love:
It's French (Takes place in france)
It takes place in the 60's
"Artful" Nudity.
Taboo
Again, it's French.
The word "Revolution" is thrown around once or twice.
Italian Director
References to Classic Films.
If you break it down, the only reason anyone could like this film is purely due to projection, wishing they could be the characters or pretending that they are.
The film itself is nothing more than a meditation of three young people living in an apartment in france.
They have conversations, get naked a lot, and do gross/weird things for the sake of "art".
That's it.
1 Star for the Nudity (Depending on whether you like the looks of the characters) which, on its own, can't save an oddball of a movie.
I understand this film, but it fails to raise my consciousness and in fact, I feel worse after watching it.
Too visceral, no heart.
You would be better off (and would have more fun) couch surfing in france for real than watching this. Seriously.

Review of The Dreamers Mar 09, 2010 Good movie. I enjoyed it. Nothing spectacular, except maybe the nudity in it. Full frontal, both male and female, which is unusual in a movie for the males, even for an up-and-coming actor like Michael Pitt. Plot dealt with the rioting in Paris, France in 1968 (I think that was the year).
