3.0 out of 5 stars Great performances, Jan 23 2006
By Nunya Bizness - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Young Adam (DVD)
First I want to say up front:

A lot of people are complaining about this being an edited, R-rated version instead of the original NC-17. But honestly I think these people are overreacting - as far as I know the only difference between this and the NC-17 version is a slightly extended sex scene that is INCLUDED AS A DELETED SCENE on the DVD. The exclusion of the scene doesn't hurt the story, and it's still there for you to see. If you're thinking of not getting the DVD simply because of this cut scene, I encourage you to reconsider.

As to what I think of the movie - my main reason for watching this movie in the first place is because I am a fan of Ewan McGregor's. And I'm not sure how I really feel about it overall. I do know that I think the sex scenes get repetitive - it almost seems they do so many of them because they want to prove to themselves or somebody else how daring they can be. And I also think the score is hit-and-miss - it is very lovely in some places but somewhat tiring at times. And, while I respect and usually appreciate movies that are subtle and not heavy-handed, I sometimes think this movie is a little too subtle for it's own good. It's point is not immediately apparent, though I'm sure some people like that about it.

On the good side, as everyone says, all of the performances are excellent. Despite the negative points of the movie, I find it a very compelling watch just for this reason. Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton, Peter Mullan, Emily Mortimer, and even some of the smaller parts: they're all riveting, and, for me, easily make this movie worth watching.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unwanted Censorship, Sep 15 2004
By Lou M. Aggetta - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Young Adam (DVD)
What a travesty to offer this film with an R rating rather than the NC-17(totally outrageous) theatrical version. I ordered this film, not paying attention to the rating, but when I realized what Sony had done I immediately cancelled my purchase. When and if the original film is released I will purchase it.

1.0 out of 5 stars No thanks Sony!, Sep 9 2004
By Matt Shiv - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Young Adam (DVD)
In order to please the Blockbusters and Wal-Marts of the nation, Sony has decided (in their infinite wisdom) to only release an EDITED version of this film on home video. I really thought that we were past this type of censorship, but apparently not.

The film, which was released in theaters NC-17, is now trimmed by about three minutes and re-rated R. This is a shame because I personally felt that the NC-17 was unjustified. I have seen far more graphic footage in films that got away with an R.

If you want to support censorship of a genuine piece of art, go ahead and buy this dvd. Otherwise, invest in a region-free player and import the uncut version from the UK. Being region-free is the only way to be!
