Here Are the Young Men

This is one of those movies where at the end you think to yourself why did you even bother making this, the plot is basically non existent just some teens doing some drugs and acting out in one extreme or another due to an event they all experience, throw in some bizarre and completely pointless dream like figments of their imaginations and there that's it end of story.

No real meaning behind any of it, no grand or meaningful statement just utter nonsense. The only reason for 3 stars instead of 1 is due to the acting, they all seem like very competent actors but they can only do so much with this.

Skip this movie entirely if you are wanting some druggy teen drama and instead just go watch Human Traffic or even Requiem for a Dream both of which put this nonsense to shame.

Tried my best to like it since we were watching it with some friends but the directing of this movie was to say the least, horrendous. Would like to see some of these actors in another movie together since their acting was phenomenal (specially the actress who played jen) it was more like the directors fault than their own to be honest.

Don't pay attention toom much on actors that could've act better what matters is the story that keeps happening to the young community and all these suicides needs attention. Editing and sound mixing are great because makes you feel their experiences when they are drunk , angry or depressed so enjoy it.

A film that feels like it wants to be complex but which is too often reduced to a simple experience by the use of over-familiar scenes, devices and plot lines. Some strong acting helps and the film is saved by swerving away from the expected laddish conclusions into a more satisfying study of the nature and perils of machismo. This, along with Anya Taylor-Joy's performance, allow the viewer to walk away feeling like they have watched a more solid and serious film , but only just.

Here Are the Young Men is a movie that starts in a janky way and stays that way for the next 90 minutes. The performance of the actors seems to get blend with the act but doesn't have that much of an impact. Right from the first arc till the last the elements of the movie are quite janky and most of the time it makes you wanna skip scenes. The direction and screenplay both needed more polish. In the end, it's a movie that's not for recommending someone cause you will forget it after watching it once. When it comes to time pass this movie definitely falls into that club.
