Review of Young Adam (2003) by Erica W — 01 Apr 2013
Very dark. Very disturbing. This film reminded me of Ian McEwan's early short stories - the bleak, hopeless world.
The soundtrack went very well with the imagery. I was particularly struck by Tilda Swinton's performance as Ella - from the long, whispy body hair to the crumbs falling from her mouth, she was every inch the bargewoman. Ewan McGregor was great, of course. He's a phenomenal actor, perhaps my favorite.
This film is not for the faint of heart. 17 and up.
