DNF

a beautiful meditation upon loss, time and the futility of reality. perfectly echoes my pulse.

The storytelling is confused, but strong acting and quality cinematography/soundtracking make it worth a watch.

"The director treats his material as if it were Last Year at Marienbad, yet his story's particulars are too goofy and too incompatible to result in something haunting or beguiling." - Nick Schager

Beginning is intriguing, but it doesn't take much time to see that this movie is just a bucket of metaphysical babble. Wherever Aronofski's Fountain succeeded this Coppola's comeback fails. However this might be not entirely Coppola's fault. Obviously the novel movie's based on is extremely complicated, and like they say: not every book can be made into a movie.

Mr. Coppola, you had a good run, who are we kidding, a great run. One of the best. But it's time to stop.

Youth lacks an emotional hook.

slightly slow and tries to be thought provoking, but ends up just being awkward. those things considered tim roth is always a good actor, and the story here is one of the best stories i've seen in a long time.

Coppola's first film in 10 years proves to be a boring dud. 2 hours of jib jab that really goes nowhere, it's a cinematic mess that gave me a good sleep in its duration. Hopefully he's just shaking the cobwebs off his 10 year layoff and will start to make the good movies that we know him for.

The basic idea that fuels this movie's story is just awful. I wouldn't mind too much if they actually went somewhere with the plot but they don't - they meander around and come up with strange developments yet you don't feel the movie has actually gone anywhere. The two halves feel disjointed. The editing was confusing and at times aggravating. Everything else about the movie seemed to be at worst average and sometimes pretty good but that doesn't make up for such bad storytelling and editing.

It's a great story, but the execution is lacking in many aspects.

This is not the Coppola who made Apocalypse now. This is the Coppola who made Jack. A plot that goes nowhere in the 45 minutes I wasted on it mixed with editing that is only confusing, not inspiring made it the worst movie-experience so far this year.

How Coppola can go from The Godfather and Apocalypse Now to this is beyond me. While Youth Without Youth is not an atrocity, it is surely completely flawed from start to finish. The story is mind boggling and the script seems so bizarre at times. The actual movie is split in two, with neither part really fulfilling itself in any way; everything about the plot is just so messy that it's hard to follow and ultimately will induce drowsiness. It's boring, it's flawed, and can't be recommended.

I kinda liked it, in a way I also like Lost... :)

This film has Alexandra Maria Lara speaking moon language and Tim Roth with Jedi powers. Ridiculous.

"Not quite a complete write-off, but basically a folly."
