Movie Review

Young Adam (2004)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Limited Release: Apr 16, 2004; Length: 99 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller; With: Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton; Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics

A luxuriously brutish story set in 1950s Glasgow, the very opposite of ''nice'' -- and that's a compliment. Freed from the constrictions of glamour, Ewan McGregor is a marvel of alluring unlikability as an amoral drifter.
