Leave your thoughts about Here Are the Young Men.
| Film ThreatBobby LePireEven though the screenplay does not explore every character’s backstory enough to work fully, the film is still an engaging coming-of-age story with an utterly brilliant ending. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreHere are the Young Men makes for an interesting snapshot of yet another version of “wayward youth.” |
| Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganThough the premise is gripping and the acting overwhelmingly solid, Here Are the Young Men falls short when it comes to communicating the raw emotional essence of preemptively coping for a future in decline. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThere’s certainly an impressive cast lineup for this one, but there’s also something weirdly formless and frustrating about it as well; the film gestures at some dark and disturbing possibilities in human nature without quite knowing if or how to follow through. |
