Young Adam

McGregor is outstanding.

McGregor has better movies than this.

Mortimer is a pretty hot chick. And I liked the non-linear storytelling. Well, that's all about this one.

Gruelling and unrelenting nihilism at its best.

A pretty useless excuse to show many nude scenes

I was bored.

An example of how irritating "art films" can be

Not a great film, the highlight was the Yoko Ono reference, with the fly on her tit.

Very good adaptation.

Well-made period drama with a great cast. There is some outstanding imagery of the canal-side life, but the non-linear narrative comes together too soon and makes for a conclusion that, like the numerous and somewhat nihilistic sex scenes, is deeply unsatisfactory.

"Lacks both the dystopian allure of Tropic of Cancer and the walking-on-eggshells existentialism of Crime and Punishment." - Ed Gonzalez

Mackenzie continued his good directorial work and won many prizes with Young Adam. And right so. The suspense during the film is real and binding the viewer to the chair. Created atmosphere and actions are harmonized.

Dirty little movie.
