Mateo M This movie made me cry so hard, not sad, just touched, although I really can't articulate why. Michael Caine was superb, and Jane Fonda's role was so well suited to her strengths. It is a unique film, but it kept me compelled and held my attention. By the end, I was deeply touched by the film's beauty. Lastly, the scene where Michael Caine was conducting the cows and forest is so sweet and memorable. Bravo.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review john c Wonderfully shot movie with a thoughtful script. Captivating and emotional.I really enjoyed it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Simon F Caine & Keitel are sublime, the dialogue is smart and the irreverence is seducing. A great "Hollywood" movie for Paolo Sorrentino. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/22 Full Review Audience Member Sorrentino provides another visually and emotionally stirring meditation on some pretty heavy, and often seemingly contrasting, themes which he explores utilizing his unique blend of humor and heart.At a certain point our past must begin to look further away than the inevitable future and, once beyond that point, as you grow older that change likely becomes more and more pronounced. Sorrentino doesn't despair in this unavoidable truth and instead beautifully confronts and even celebrates this stage in a life through some well written dialogue, that along with the score, induced goosebumps more than once.The cinematography was engrossingly gorgeous with some memorable shots that created a tempting backdrop to tell any story in front of.Caine was an excellent choice for the lead and played his role brilliantly with Keitel offering great work as well. There were no weaknesses in this colorful cast but I was embarrassed it took me as long as it did to recognize the Maradona character. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member There's no doubting Sorrentino has his own style, and there are times during Youth when you do wish that he would tone that style down somewhat. However, there is real beauty in Youth, and Sorrentino pulls astonishing performances from Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel as ageing friends at an alpine retreat for the duration of the film. It's not up there with his best (Il Divo [2008] remains the pinnacle for me) but it's certainly more cohesive than his most recent, Loro (2018), which although impressive, really misses the extra hour or so of footage that is present in the Italian release.
