Our take

The final film from Italian arthouse maestro Bernardo Bertolucci (The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris) is an affecting adaptation of Niccolò Ammaniti’s coming-of-age novel. Gently tuned to an Italian cover of Bowie’s Space Oddity, Me and You poignantly explores the awkward fragility of youth.
