Leave your thoughts about Young Adam.
| TeletextPaul Arendt'From the grimy, scrabbling bodies to the barge itself, every surface seems to glisten with rain, sweat or grease.' |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasYoung Adam" is a study in contrasts. It's a movie full of explicit sex scenes and almost no passion, and it's a beautiful-looking film with a very ugly soul at its center. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisFor all its coldness, Young Adam still managed to impress me thanks to the time, the place, and the amoral sobriety and desperate conviction of its central performance. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenProbing character study takes its time getting below the surface, but, once there, it's well worth the journey. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe movie ladles out its atmosphere of quiet dread admirably, but atmosphere alone seldom makes a film watchable. This one is too sour in its attitude and vague in its ideas. |

| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanThe filmgoing experience is just short of torture. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasebe prepared for a harsh, yet mesmerizing dissection of the way morality is often lived rather than how it is always idealized |
