Full Plot Details

Set in a near future when water has become the most precious and dwindling resource on the planet, one that dictates everything from the macro of political policy to the detailed micro of interpersonal family and romantic relationships. The land has withered into something wretched. The dust has settled on a lonely, barren planet. The hardened survivors of the loss of Earth's precious resources scrape and struggle. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives on this harsh frontier with his children, Jerome ( Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Mary (Elle Fanning) fends his farm from bandits, works the supply routes, and hopes to rejuvenate the soil. But Mary's boyfriend, Flem Lever (Nicholas Hoult), has grander designs. He wants Ernest's land for himself, and will go to any length to get it. From writer/director Jake Paltrow comes a futuristic western, told in three chapters, which inventively layers Greek tragedy over an ethereal narrative that's steeped deeply in the values of the American West.

Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 9/10 by Ethan AlterSo despite all that ambition and craft on display, why does the movie feel like such a stiff? That's largely because Paltrow's attention is so focused on big-picture details he takes his eyes off what's happening in the foreground with his characters.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 9/10 by Kathy FennessyFrom [Michael] Shannon to [Nicholas] Hoult, it's refreshing to see actors most recently associated with big-budget properties like Superman and X-Men get their hands dirty with this gritty little picture.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by Dan MeccaThere's more than enough originality on display to wet the beaks of sci-fi and western fans alike.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Clayton DillardIt avoids the typical trappings of the genre pastiche by utilizing its clear indebtedness to numerous other films as merely a starting point, rather than an end.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Rodrigo PerezYoung Ones and its serious, bone-dry approach won’t be for everyone. The picture is languidly paced, but its ideas, moods and tones strike many thought-provoking chords.
Guardian - 8/10 by Henry BarnesThere hasn't been as convincing a sci-fi dustbowl story since the original Mad Max.
Paste Magazine - 8/10 by Brent SimonA dusty, Old Testament tone poem of obsession, savagery and other darker human impulses, Young Ones grapples with the long shadows that sins of the past can cast, and the question as to whether they can be escaped.
Examiner.com - 8/10 by Chris SawinYoung Ones is unstable as far as strong performances and unique storytelling go, but its beautiful cinematography and ability to blend the sci-fi and western genres seamlessly helps categorize the film into a satisfying non-guilty pleasure.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Amy NicholsonYoung Ones is an old-fashioned, worthwhile curio down to the closing credits.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisThis spare but potent melodrama revels in the desiccated landscapes provided by South Africa and photographed with dusty purity by Giles Nuttgens. Through his lens, the spectrum of sunbaked skin and parched dunes is as rich as any rainbow.
