Young Adam Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Whether you're talking about Young Adam the movie or young Adam the character, neither is very likable.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
The narrative, with its provocative flashbacks, is just interesting enough to propel the movie forward.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A movie that seems to think it's more interesting than it really is.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's a diversion, well crafted by Mackenzie from a book by Alexander Trocchi, but little more than that.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A compelling if singularly sour tale of a young man's moral paralysis.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The ever-mesmerizing McGregor delivers the most complex performance of his career.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The film's viewpoint on these sad characters and their sordid behavior has an allure that's hard to refute.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
[Swinton's] rich, compelling performance is reason enough to see this uneven picture.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A compelling study of conscience.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is an almost Dostoyevskian study of a man brooding upon evil until it paralyzes him.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
Its chief asset is its superb cast, especially Ms. Swinton and Mr. McGregor, who gives one of his most dynamic performances to date.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
For all its coldness, Young Adam still managed to impress me thanks to the time, the place, and the amoral sobriety and desperate conviction of its central performance.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It's a movie drama with a surface so bleak and an interior so hot with eroticism that it twists your guts to watch it.
Variety
Derek Elley
A resonant, beautifully modulated relationships drama set amid the canals and gray stone buildings of early '50s Scotland.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Young Adam unfolds with an absolute minimum of dramatic highs and lows, and it's so disaffected that it prompts laughter at the wrong moments.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
There's more than enough done right here for moviegoers starved of nuance to savor.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
... MacGregor is always riveting, and the final scenes are chilling.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Mackenzie has made more of an atmosphere study than character study, brimming with brilliantly gray seaport landscapes and green canal-bank vistas.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Affairs and murder mysteries: sounds intriguing, no? Well, no.
