Youth

"Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel do some of the best work of their long careers in Paolo Sorrentino’s witty, wise and swooningly beautiful dramatic comedy "Youth"" 

"A movie that deals almost exclusively in simplistic oppositions: age against youth, beauty against ugliness (...) There is no shading, there is no ambiguity, and while there are observations and stilted epithets aplenty, there is precious little wisdom. 

"Paolo Sorrentino (...) delivers his most tender film to date, an emotionally rich contemplation of life’s wisdom." 

"Youth will be, for some, entirely intoxicating in the way it forges its immense visual richness, musical intensity, actorly precision and unpretentious approach to thematic concerns." 

"The problem with 'Youth' is not that it’s empty (...) but that it’s small. Its imagination feels shrunken and secondhand, in spite of the gorgeous vistas and beautiful naked women." 

"Fasten your seat belts for Jane Fonda, who gives a seismic jolt to Paolo Sorrentino's exquisite meditation on art and aging. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"Sorrentino could try harder (...) A diverting, minor work, tweaked up with funny ideas (...) There are brilliant flourishes here that could only have come from Sorrentino (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
