How to tell whether a physics theory is beautiful?

A lot of physicists would have agreed that General Relativity is a beautiful theory.

My question is that, what really makes a physics theory beautiful? Is there any criteria that a theory must fulfilled before it is considered beautiful? Is Quantum Mechanics beautiful in the same sense as the General Relativity?
