This is a film precisely constructed, brilliantly imagined.

Writer-director Gianni Amelio masterfully chronicles the ways two people can betray each other, and especially themselves, in the name of love.

The sweeping, confounding conclusion therefore unfolds with a beauty and an ease that seem truly organic. The Way We Laughed has that feeling of being a work of art.

Beautifully made and performed, this is a film of considerable insight into both the life of the impoverished and the mystery of human personality.

Longwinded, slow-starting but moving film.

The film, beautifully shot in widescreen by Luca Bigazzi, is surprisingly accessible and always engaging, if ultimately tragic.

Wears its art, as well as its heart, on its sleeve -- so much so that I feel guilty for not liking it more.

It's a damn impressive trick to build a film around narrative frustration and not cause your audience to run out screaming.

Problematically structured, overly protracted and lacking in narrative fluidity.
