Most glo­wing review of Young Adam I’ve seen yet. From The Inde­pen­dant (UK).
“Week in, week out, some dire Bri­tish movie plods into a Soho scree­ning room, puts its head on the block and waits for the cri­tics to swing the axe. If it actually makes it to the mul­ti­plex, the public by and large ignore it — they’d rather watch something Ame­ri­can, and you can’t blame them. Indeed, the idea of a home­grown movie that rates as a genuine artis­tic achie­ve­ment, as oppo­sed to a loudly fan­fa­red event (such as Calen­dar Girls), seems almost out­lan­dish, something so rare we might not even recog­nise it. Well, I’m happy to report that such a movie is now here. It’s called Young Adam, and it deser­ves your imme­diate atten­tion…”

I’m going to ask the pro­du­cers to send me links for (a) where the movie will be sho­wing, once it hits Ame­rica in April and (b) somewhere you can buy tic­kets online. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
