Youth movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Sandy Cohen, Associated Press: Original and unpredictable, Youth trusts its audience's curiosity and powers of perception. Read more
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times: How much better is it to experience a film overflowing with so many elements than one that has to stretch its content just to get to the finish line? Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel make beautiful music together in a witty, wise and swooningly beautiful dramatic comedy. Read more
Jay Weissberg, Variety: An emotionally rich contemplation of life's wisdom gained, lost and remembered -- with cynicism harping from the sidelines, but as a wearied chord rather than a major motif. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Absolutely beautiful and sometimes maddening while never offering easy answers. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: 'Tremendous effort with a modest result," says the old man to his old friend. He's talking about raising children to adulthood, but the sentiment could just as easily apply to "Youth," the ambitious but lackluster new film by Italy's Paolo Sorrentino. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: Film is a medium that consecrates memory, which makes it an especially apt metaphor in a movie about two old men. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Sorrentino's magic is all smoke and mirrors. People calling this movie a visual feast must be awfully famished. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Sumptuous, sincere and built on aging bones, "Youth" is a wonder of a film, a look back at life's sprawling possibilities, dark corners and aspirations. Read more
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: It's hard to imagine a universe in which Caine and Keitel are best friends, yet they have a frisky, undeniable chemistry. Their scenes are magic. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: Youth is a voluptuary's feast, a full-body immersion in the sensory pleasures of the cinema. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Quixotic, idiosyncratic, effortlessly moving, it's as much a cinematic essay as anything else, a meditation on the wonders and complications of life, an examination of what lasts, of what matters to people no matter their age. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Age is more than just a number, Youth tells us. What really matters, though, is whether you're going to let that number define you. Read more
Anthony Lane, New Yorker: The movie is gorgeous, as you would expect from Sorrentino, but beauty this great can lead to suffocation. The plot goes round and round and nowhere ... Read more
Mark Jenkins, NPR: What bonds the movie's many, sometimes clashing elements is Caine's embodiment of the rueful yet accepting Fred. Read more
Stephen Whitty, New York Daily News: You may feel yourself getting older just watching it. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Good as it looks, the film starts to feel like an airline magazine collaboratively produced by the editorial staffs of Playboy and Modern Maturity. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Youth is a meditation on aging, on friendship, on love, loss, wisdom, disillusionment, pain. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Watching Youth, you'd swear Fellini had risen from his grave and returned to make another movie. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: Fasten your seat belts for Jane Fonda, who gives a seismic jolt to Paolo Sorrentino's exquisite meditation on art and aging. Read more
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times: There is little life here. Only artifice. And some howlingly awful dialogue. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: This is a work of gorgeous, eye-popping visual inventiveness with a radically bananas plot. Read more
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail: The two veterans play off each other splendidly; other eccentric characters weave in and out winningly as well. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: There's real humanity here, and it may hit closer to home than you'd expect. Read more
Sasha Stone, TheWrap: Every shot is a thing of beauty. For most of this film I had the impulse to hoist my camera and take a snapshot of it. It is just one dizzying image after another. Read more
Liz Braun, Toronto Sun: Youth is imperfect and it meanders, but Caine and Keitel bring this thing to life with gusto. Read more
Brian Truitt, USA Today: The film's greatest strength is its major team-up. Caine and Keitel have an electric chemistry when they're onscreen together ... Read more
Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice: The film mostly plays like an extended spa stay, and, like with any superior vacation, what you find in it, and what you take away from it, is probably your own. Here's the rare film that refreshes. Read more
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture: Though often beautiful, this is an emotionally paralyzed film about emotionally paralyzed people. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: From early on my strong desire was for this horribly pretentious phantasmagoria to be over. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: I'm not sure the buzz of watching it is worth the headache the morning after. Read more
