Youth movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are divided: none of the 6 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances, the direction and the music. Criticised: the emotion.
This brutal, hilarious new show about life as a fiftysomething is full of all the heart and humour of human life. At points it’s mesmerisingly perfect

Read the full reviewYouth movie verdict:With some strong performances, youthful music to keep things going, and some relatable comedy and moments, the film has enough to keep you engaged.

Read the full reviewKen Karunaas’ ‘Dragon’-for-high-schoolers turns the chaos and trivialities of teenage love and schoolyard swagger into a playful, well-meaning ode to growing up and learning better
Read the full reviewLet's face the truth. It has been ages since Tamil cinema produced a fun teen romance. Such films do exist, but those that release either fail to capture everyone's attention or feature characters who barely pass for teenagers.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
