This is one of the worst movie ever made. It's not matter of age, I'm 37.

Philosophically has no meaning, everyone gives a different explanation for this crap, this is the proof that everyone is wrong. Everyone is trying to catch a reason to support the given oscar. Nobody will buy the blueray for this, nobody will watch two times this thing. If someone says yes, he's lying.… Expand

The only "great beauty" in this film was the view of Rome, in a point of view that also the citizens of Rome haven't.

I have only walked out on a movie twice. This was the second time. Pretentious, obnoxious, and boring. p.s., It had nothing to say.. Even Rome didn’t look as beautiful as it really is.

This must be one of these 'Art' movies. If you are not a specific fan of this kind of picture, better avoid The Great Beauty. Nothing of substance, only pretty shots here and there and boring, nonsensical dialog, plot and characters.

I'm Italian and I keep wondering how this film can get an Oscar.

The social portrait that I saw in the first 30 min. it do not represent the Italian way of life: I feel quite disturbed from the decadence of almost all characters. I doI'm Italian and I keep wondering how this film can get an Oscar.

I do not even understand all dialogues since part of them are spoken in dialect.

I couldn't bear more than 30 minutes of the film because it seem more the auto absolution of the class that caused the greatest part of troubles in our country.… Expand

At one point the main hero states that by the age of 75 he has learned not to waste time on something he doesn't like. I've made this mistake by watching this whole boring movie. And the second lesson is that hard work and sacrifice does not necessarily lead to anything meaningful in the end. Such is demonstrated by the unsatisfying movie culmination of pure gibberish, contrary to what we hoped for, considering it got an Oscar. The reason that this review gives this movie 2, not 1 or 0 is that the picture has a number of pleasing scenes (although some gross ones as well) and that the greatest beauty is indeed revealed in the end, although trivial, but nevertheless true. The greatest beauty is ****… Expand
