  • 2. Filmeye
    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: The reason this film makes such an impression on me has a lot to do with how it touches on my personal points of connection, how it continues where other films end and we get to see time take its toll. It allows me to forget its flaws and my otherwise prominent feminist film criticism takes a step back to make room for emotions. I experience and feel so much that I leave the theater... captivated.

  • 3. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: What elevates "The Best of Youth", besides the skillful acting, is that it's infused with some kind of hope for life, despite all the shortcomings. As if filled with a forgiveness toward the fact that despite all good intentions, one doesn't succeed all the way.

    Positive, no rating

    Translated from swedish: Friendship conquers all in the beautiful, yet somewhat sentimental, Italian romantic drama "The Best of Youth". Two childhood friends fall in love with a third person – which changes their lives forever.

  • 5. Dagens Nyheter
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: The Italian "The Best of Youth" evokes the male film tradition of Fellini, Scola and Tornatore. An epic tale of love and friendship spanning thirty years. Magnificent and masterfully crafted about the emergence of modern Italy.
