01/18/08
Beautifully photographed, the elliptical, often mysterious and wholly beguiling film Colossal Youth looks and sounds as if it were made on another planet.
08/08/07
Top CriticIt's impossible to describe as anything less than reverie.
08/02/07
Eventually, across the monumental boredom, mesmerizing, nearly still images and poetic rhythms of this 155-minute film, something like pathos or meaning can be sensed, if not really apprehended.
08/02/07
Top CriticRather than impose actors on the scene, Costa involves the people who already live there. Instead of training them to perform a story, he locates a skeletal narrative from a rehearsal process based on their personal stories.
07/31/07
Top CriticA unique metaphysical vision that, tracing its characters' dislocation, seems to weave between alternate worlds as easily as it navigates from image to image.
07/30/07
It’s a challenging 155 minutes, but it’s a film that you can easily drift too and from while retaining a clear sense of place, person and purpose.
10/30/06
Costa's experimentation reaches an aesthetic peak.
09/23/06
Top CriticColossal Youth (Juventude em Marcha), has some arresting images and an interesting central character but its lack of narrative pace will exhaust the patience of most audiences.
06/01/06
Top CriticFar-reaching study of poverty, loneliness and hope amid suffering is weighed down by its soporific structure, deliberately indolent pacing and endlessly attenuated conversations among a clutch of ill-defined personalities.
