Critic Reviews of "The Great Beauty"
Geoff Pevere Globe and MailJanuary 31, 2014The Great Beauty is an utterly ravishing portrait of listless luxuriance, a fantasy of decadent wealth and beauty that evokes Fellini's La Dolce Vita by way of Baz Luhrmann.
J. R. Jones Chicago ReaderJanuary 30, 2014Celebrating Rome in all its decay, this florid comedy by Paolo Sorrentino (Il Divo, This Must Be the Place) opens with a hyperbolically gaudy party honoring a celebrity journalist on his 65th birthday.
Peter Howell Toronto StarJanuary 30, 2014A riotous film that finds depth, clarity and refreshment in even the shallowest of pools.
Tom Long Detroit NewsJanuary 16, 2014Throughout the film, Sorrentino delivers gorgeous images, crazy images, startling and sexy and serene images; it's a visual bath of sorts - the great beauty is everywhere, Jep (and we) just have to be open to it.
Michael Nordine L.A. WeeklyJanuary 08, 2014Though there's precious little drama, Sorrentino's skills as an image-maker are indisputable.
Michael Phillips Chicago TribuneJanuary 02, 2014It's a beauty, all right. It's more a style show than a deep philosophical treatise, but with surfaces this sleek and faces this interesting, I'll take style over substance any day.
Sean Burns Philadelphia City PaperMay 12, 2015A richly symbolic meditation on aging, mortality and precious time wasted.
Lewis Beale News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)October 01, 2014Sometimes too overblown, surreal and obtuse for its own good, director Paolo Sorrentino's film is nonetheless an exquisitely composed portrait of vapidity and decline.
Renee Schonfeld Common Sense MediaMay 13, 2014Exceptional, mature film dazzles, offers haunting insights.
Ray Pride NewcityApril 04, 2014"The Great Beauty" is a great romance: a man and a city and a love that cannot be consummated but which will consume you surely. Somewhere, Baz Luhrmann weeps.
Matt Glasby Flicks.co.nzMarch 27, 2014If it sounds a bit ponderous, well, maybe it is, but it's also smart, warm-hearted and sumptuously shot.
John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)March 10, 2014'The Great Beauty' is certainly striking, but too often what it's striking are poses.
