Youth Ratings & Reviews
Vague Visages
David Pountain
Achieving a vibrant mix of swooning sincerity and bitter irony...
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
the general sense the movie emits is great, and even this faults seem to fit in, in a rather entertaining spectacle that is very enjoyable through its 134 minutes.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The film still generates a certain amount of fascination as it transforms into a melodramatic love story, though I missed the imagination and historical sweep that defined the first half.
Film Inquiry
Chloe Walker
though the grander themes will translate for audiences across the globe, Feng's Spielbergian desire to over-sentimentalise every scene means that overall, Youth is more frustrating than affecting.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
It will probably break your heart in all the wrong ways.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
If our understanding of the losses these characters have suffered feels incomplete, it's hard to come away entirely unaffected as these men and women look back at their young adulthood and the whirlwind of historical change against which it played out.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
As a straight, sentimental melodrama, "Youth" works well. While there are a lot of conventional tropes, the cast enacts them with such fresh, tenderhearted sincerity that they regain some power.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
Feng [snakes] his camera exuberantly though scenes that highlight colorful costumes, dynamic choreography and beautiful chorines.
The Hollywood Reporter
Clarence Tsui
Youth, for all its technical prowess, is perhaps the director's most melancholy and pessimistic film about Chinese society yet.
Variety
Maggie Lee
The film serves as a paean to idealism and endurance, yet the word "heart-breaking" comes to mind scene after scene.
