What to Know

Critics Consensus

Grim and graphic, Too Old to Die Young is stylish, but its languid story does little to justify its violent tendencies-- though fans of Refn's may find enjoyment in its neon laden misery.

Rebecca Harrison Sight & Sound 10/02/2019
An aesthetic so nonchalant that every murder and rape feels like a casual shrug; a deadpan performance from Teller that would easily win a children's game of musical statues. Go to Full Review

3/5
The series is addictive, in an unpleasant sort of way. Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 06/27/2019
Refn made his name with tense and gruesome crime films in his native Denmark; here he gets to luxuriate at length. Go to Full Review
Mike Thorn Vague Visages 12/12/2023
Refn's cinematic vision in Too Old to Die Young is a complex piece of post-postmodernity, grim and hilarious and sexy, and in many ways irresolvable. Go to Full Review
Victoria Alexander FilmsInReview.com 03/08/2023
Cruelty as an art. An original masterpiece with a vision all Refn’s own. Bravo to the powers that recognize his brilliance. I’m calling for Refn directing a John Wick film. Go to Full Review
Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 06/29/2020
Perhaps when I've been through all 15 or so hours of the series I'll conclude it adds up to very little. But I've gotta admit, I want to see where it takes me. Go to Full Review

Sourena Z @RT52283506 Oct 18 I was too young before first episode, but I was too old at the end of the same episode. too slowwww See more David H @DavidHHH Oct 12 Oh my goodness me, this is excruciating. If anything happens beyond the end of the 2nd episode, I'm sorry but that's already more than three hours I've wasted and I can't take any more. Not just one, but two separate 5-minute scenes of this old guy having his colostomy bag changed... If this is life in a Mexican cartel, I'm surprised they don't all drop dead of boredom. See more Liam P @RT37532406 Aug 31 Nicolas Winding Refn’s direction of ’Too Old to Die Young’ is stylistic to the point of suffocation, lacking any soul or payoff. It’s like neon nihilism without a heart. See more Gabriel W @RT55149505 02/05/2025 Eine meditative Thriller Serie in der Langsamkeit zelebriert wird. Es wird langsam gegangen. Lange gepost. In aller Ruhe geredet. David Lynch in Zeitlupe. Ziemlich cool. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich nach und nach. Es wie ein Chill Out Room in einer Techno Disco. Niemand hat es hier eilig Schöne Menschen und hin und wieder explodiert die Gewalt. Die Kamera ignoriert die Sehgewohnheiten. Es ist wie ein überlanger hypnotischer Lana Del Rey Videoclip. Skurrile Charaktere. Wenn einer der Baldwin Brüder sich einen Plüschtiger vor das Gesicht hält und wie ein Tiger knurrt. Niemand ist hier gut. Es gibt nur Schattierungen von Böse. Ob nun Cops oder Gangster. Die Serie kümmert sich nicht um Zuschauer. Die Darsteller haben alle Zeit der Welt zu erzählen. Es sind keine Diaologe wie in Tarantino Filmen und doch überraschen Pointen und Wendungen. No Blame zu Leuten, für die das hier nichts ist. Es ist sogar langsamer, als "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod". Manches lässt sich im Nachhinen bestimmt gut parodieren. Wenn ein männlicher Protagonist Bsp. minutenlang mit seiner Duckface gezeigt wird, grenzt dass an Satire. Aber dennoch sehr empfehlenswert. In einer Zeit, in der alle 3 Sekunden ein Schnitt sein muss, um Zuschauer bei der Stange zu halten, ist dieses entschleunigde Experiment ein Blick, zumindest eine Folge Wert, gesehen zu werden. Es ist zwar skuril, aber nicht undurchsichtig. Ich gebe zu. Auch ich kann das nicht durchsuchten. Brauche Abstand zwischen den Folgen. Schaue mir ab und zu eine an. Schaut rein. Es wäre schade drum. See more Kristina R @RT36016770 06/15/2024 Beautifully shot with stunning cinematography, but excruciatingly slooooow (and I’m generally a fan of art films and slow burns). On top of this, there isn't a single likable character. Not sure I’d recommend that anyone spend 15 hours on this. See more Joe W @JoeWasik 05/13/2024 This could have been an interesting story, but it's to sloooow! There's way to much staring ahead. Staring at each other. Even sleeping on camera. Unbelievable. I made it to episode 2 and finally started using my remote's "jump forward" button. Ten seconds at a time. I did it three times and still saw the character just staring. Don't waste your time. Someone, please edit this thing. See more Read all reviews
