Critics Sentiment
Arrival in Rome showcases the city's stunning visuals
Caterina and Joe's departure to Italy feels rushed
The film jumps from its worst-received section in the first 30 minutes to acclaimed Roman cinematography, a swing of 3.0 points.
Luna receives mixed reception with reviewers praising Bertolucci's stunning visuals and haunting moments while criticizing its uneven pacing and controversial subject matter. The film starts poorly but improves significantly with its Roman setting and cinematography, though the operatic finale divides audiences. Despite its flaws, many found it a fascinating if messy exploration of complex psychological themes.
