Leave your thoughts about Dying Young.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDying Young isn't a shameless weeper, but that's not necessarily to its credit. In a genre like this, sometimes ''tasteful'' just means confused. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's not a strong or particularly endearing motion picture, caught in the stylish middle, with Schumacher Schumachering all over the film with extravagant lighting and blustery interiors. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrWhere most contemporary directors would be looking for ways to demonstrate their superiority to the material -- dropping in campy asides or meaningless technical flourishes -- Schumacher is looking for ways to make it work. |
| Washington PostJoe BrownScott has Given Up On Life. You can tell from his apartment, which is nearly devoid of pop-culture clutter and kept in sepulchral shade. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDying Young offers a convincing anatomy of the universal yearning for intimacy. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonA decidedly dubious early 1990s love story from Joel Schumacher. The Kenny G sax solos don't help either. |
| People MagazineRalph NovakThis is an upsetting, moving film -- not one for the weak of stomach, mind or heart. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlWorst of all, Dying Young is a love story about two people who don't seem to be in love with each other. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelCandice RussellDying Young belongs to the luminous Roberts. She is becoming one of the screen's finer actresses. |
| Baltimore SunLou CedroneIt also lacks cuteness, which a movie of this sort needs. A film as predictable as this one is seriously in need of scenes that stand out, scenes that give the movie a little life, no pun intended. |
