Luna Ratings & Reviews
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
"Luna" is an indefensible film because it is built on unsupported narrative clichs that Bertolucci never resolves.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Did a little bird try to warn Bertolucci that this material was, to put it kindly, two bricks short of a load?
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Luna seduces and repels you at the same time. It's a film about the silences and cruelties between people, but it explodes with color, music, and movement.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Channelling a Viscontian elegance, Bernardo Bertolucci probes the allure of bourgeois excess to its core of perverse desire-and ultimately suggests that it's made of frustrated dreams of normalcy.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Loud, vulgar, and frequently obnoxious, the film nevertheless has a perfect integrity in its excesses. This is filmmaking from the groin, unabashed and unrestrained.
Variety
Variety Staff
La Luna is a spectacle-sized melodrama filled with a variety of themes -- plots and subplots that merge asymmetrically into a melodramatic mold.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
No amount of purloined Verdi can transform these banalities into anything else, while the film's ending, if it means what it certainly seems to mean, would embarrass a backstage Broadway musical movie, much less a backstage Rome opera movie.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Ultimately, while Luna hints at a resolution for its characters that restores the normative balance of the family structure, it also seems to content to keep its vivid beauty and its dark, perverse passions hopelessly entangled.
TV Guide
Bernardo Bertolucci's excessive look into the life of a troubled teenager created quite a stir upon its original release.
