    A mental feast of an acquired taste. It's a shame the negative rap this film got. I really enjoyed its magic.

    A very amazing film....romantic, mysterious, philosophical, and completely mind blowing. Tim Roth is one of my favorite actors and he was so wonderful in this film. This film might not be for everyone, but everyone should at least sit down and watch it. I was not disappointed ...( read more)at all.

    How did this guy make Dracula? Here's another movie where the director tried to be too cryptic, symbolic and other such words and ended up with an incoherrent piece of crap.

    There's a lot to admire about Youth Without Youth, but potential for entertainment is not exactly one of them. I love that this is mature, historical fiction (as borrowed from Romanian writer Mircea Eliade) rendered beautifully by a master filmmaker, but damn if this isn't dull a...( read more)t times. Frankly, the movie's lack of focus is a huge disappointment. I had to watch it in three chunks, each forty minutes long, before I couldn't stand to sit through it anymore.

    This got critically drubbed and made very little money (fortunately it was a low-budget effort), and I feel bad for Coppola because of that. It is a fantastic movie to look at, has actors of presence in Tim Roth and Alexandra Maria Lara, and offers up numerous good ideas by virtue of its source. Unfortunately, those stars are lost in the script they have to wade through, and that beautiful imagery just seems to swirl together without anything distinctive going on in it.

    This definitely could have been better.

    To quote Eric Rowe, "Technically speaking the film is beautifully shot, and Coppola reminds us why he is a master. This film is not "easy" but its incredibly interesting and engrossing. The script is very complicated and deals with many theoretical opinions and observations." Th...( read more)at being said, it was a little hard to understand everything that was going on but overall very interesting, worth a viewing, maybe two so that you fully understand it all.

    Sorry - what should have been interesting is dull as dishwater and one of Mr. Coppala's that I really didn't enjoy. Too sedately presented and it's attempt at fragmented philosophy & theoretical hyposthesis falls flat & frivilous in the end.

    The beginning is kinda boring, but the movie is really interesting. Lots of philosophical questions and stuff.
