If it sounds a bit ponderous, well, maybe it is, but it's also smart, warm-hearted and sumptuously shot.
October 01, 2014
Sometimes too overblown, surreal and obtuse for its own good, director Paolo Sorrentino's film is nonetheless an exquisitely composed portrait of vapidity and decline.
January 30, 2014
A riotous film that finds depth, clarity and refreshment in even the shallowest of pools.

'The Great Beauty' is certainly striking, but too often what it's striking are poses.
January 16, 2014
Throughout 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.
May 12, 2015
A richly symbolic meditation on aging, mortality and precious time wasted.
January 31, 2014
The 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.
May 13, 2014
Exceptional, mature film dazzles, offers haunting insights.
January 08, 2014
Though there's precious little drama, Sorrentino's skills as an image-maker are indisputable.
April 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.
January 30, 2014
Celebrating 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.

It'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.
