 Transcendent April 15, 2008

Usually I can predict what is going to happen (more or less) after watching the first act of most films, but Youth Without Youth rips up the usual template and attempts to take you on a journey where the end is never in sight. It isn't wholly successful but is never less than stimulating and involving. It is the polar opposite of 99.9% of other films - the narrative is linear and yet manages to suggest that time is anything but. The ending is beautiful, explaining all yet at the same time throwing into doubt everything you have just watched. If Daniel Day-Lewis had played the lead in this film it would have had accolades heaped upon it. As it is, Tim Roth does his best to hold things together but - by his own admission - he does not quite understand what the director was trying to say and it shows. I was utterly captivated by this film. Deeply flawed but still wonderful, this is a glorious, crazy mess of a masterpiece.
Coppola's modern masterpiece February 7, 2008

Coppola's modern masterpiece if you have the brains and patience for it. Tim Roth just about holds it altogether.
 Work of absolute genius or Surreal waste of time? July 9, 2008
Farah Yousif (Kuwait)
For me: this film is either a work of absolute genius or is a surreal waste of time. The film captures your attention at the start; I like the `shock' element of seeing Tim Roth doubling in personality - this was done very well and adds a `dark' element to the film that keeps you on edge. The film also contains originality in that it's difficult for me to think of another film through which it can be compared.
The themes covered are interesting e.g. conflict between `good and evil', and the exploration of the origins of language appealed to me as a linguist. Unfortunately, I think there were too many ideas in the film and each one wasn't portrayed in enough depth. The plot lacked some-what and at the end of the film I felt a bit cheated because I was expecting something `more'. Overall: worth seeing but perhaps not owning.
