Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Ed GonzalezPoets have said that eyes are the windows to the soul, but Luis Buñuel believed that our legs and feet revealed more about us than any other parts of our bodies.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt gets under the skin of these characters, but offers little relief.
Old School Reviews - 8/10 by John A. Nesbitprovokes more discussions about life's existential problems than more conventionally moralistic filmmakers
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan Rosenbaum[The film] is full of poetic asides and unexpected developments, revealing Bunuel's dark, philosophical wit at its most personal.
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CroceNo other Buñuel picture boasts a more tangible, zestful feel for nature
User Review - 10/10 by James HBunuel takes his critical, yet humanistic eye towards the condition in this examination of the American south and it's attitudes towards race relations. He comes up with one his masterworks.
User Review - 10/10 by David HI love Bunuel Films and i love Movies settled in the South and i love Movies that are settled on just one Place with few Characters and this one is a Special Burner it shows the Simple Southern Life with all it's Coziness, Hospitality, Heartiness & Faith at the one Side and all that Violence, Racial Hatred, Perversions & Double Moral Standarts at the other Side and create a Dark Picture of the White Trash by showing also their Human Side Great Movie Beautiful Pictures of the Nature & Music
User Review - 10/10 by Constantin RPederastia, machismo, racismo, la muerte como algo sin importancia, execración del santo sacramento del bautismo, depredación animal (los insectos, los insectos una vez más), la huida imposible, el amor imposible, la noche como algo posible... No me extraña que Buñuel sólo haya filmado dos peliculas "americanas". Hollywood y los amantes de dejar empeñado el cerebro en la taquilla del cine nunca merecieron a un director tan talentoso y sin complejos como Buñuel.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott RZachary Scott and Bernie Hamilton give great performances in this beautifully authentic look at the pre-Civil Rights South. The film never rings a false note in telling this raw story of sexual tension and racial hatred.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark CLately I've realized just how absolutely genius Bunuel really was. "The Young One" is no exception. I recommend this because this is one of the few (I believe only two) films he did in English. It follows a very simple story. But people, especially on here, really don't give it the credit it deserves. In 1960, Bunuel was painting these really anti-Manichean pictures. People use his methods so much, it seems extremely banal by today's standards. But to blur the line like he did with this film, so beautifully, is true bravery. I loved the actors and their characters. I absolutely love any film that deals with islands or boats (see my favs: Knife in the Water, Through a Glass Darkly, etc.). And it's not as bleak as it sounds! Leave it to Bunuel to make a film with a message and slip in some true dark humor.
