Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
As good as Theron and Oswalt are, and they're very good, Young Adult doesn't give them enough room to breathe.

There's little about Mavis that makes for feel-good revelry. That's an understatement, perhaps. Yet, Theron's work feels true to Mavis' malaise -- and often, just as sad.

Young Adult may be the year's most engaging feel-bad movie.

There is a raw honesty here rare in movies, and it's very funny too - excruciating at times.

fresh:
There has always been something so inward about [Theron;] she can seem detached or deprived. But here it's as if the script and the direction felt bound to heed that loneliness, and let the actress go with her bravery and the depressive sag of her mouth.
