Reviews


80
CineVue - Christopher Machell
Youth is as sentimental as it is accomplished, but Xiaogang's mastery both of broad sweep and intimate detail proves an impressive feat.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Clarence Tsui
Youth is a whirl of grand, dramatic gestures.
80
Variety - Maggie Lee
Feng employs traditional craftsmanship to draw a sweeping historical canvas with profound human upheavals that mirror virtues and flaws of the Chinese people, without ever losing sight of the personal experiences that he dramatizes with such acute sensuality.
75
Washington Post - Mark Jenkins
The film’s themes mature from adolescent pettiness to adult regret, with several epilogues set well after the main events of the story.
70
The 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.
