I was much impressed with this superbly performed and tightly scripted noirish period drama.

Where it’s disturbing is in McGregor’s challenging, defiant performance...

The story's drab, attention-span-testing pace makes it tough to keep wondering what dark secrets shuffle beneath the surface.

A humorless and dank display of ashcan angst that leaves you wishing theater restrooms had shower facilities.

A movie that delights in creating atmosphere at the expense of dialogue, and its effectiveness is testament to the genius of the performances.

Young 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.

An amoral and boring affair, beautifully filmed but empty at its core.

The 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.
