Young Adam (2003)
6/10
I'm sorry, but I didn't get it
25 February 2007
It seems like everyone loves this film and it sure won the BAFTAs. But I found it dreary, sordid, and slow. Slowness doesn't usually kill a film for me, but in this case, I was constantly impatient to get out of the various bedrooms and into something more fitting to my usual tastes.

I will say that I loved watching Tilda Swinton, but then I always do. She's a doll. She doesn't try for glamor in this, and yet she is quietly glamorous.

And I did enjoy the scenery, but then scenery from the British isles always pleases me. The cinematography was good.

However, it did seem so immersed in sex and sometimes perverse and sordid in the graphic portrayal.

Well, somebody said it isn't for everyone and I guess I'm one of the guys it isn't for.
