REVIEW: YOUNG ADULT: R
I know I'm late reviewing this but I have a pretty big awards weekend coming up. Over this the three day weekend I'm going to be watching "The Iron Lady" and the Critic's Choice Award for Best Picture-winning film "The Artist." I'm slowly accepting even though I'd like "The Descendants" to take home the big prize on Oscar night "Artist" will be the victor. Another awards-season movie you must make time to see this January is Jason Reitman's "Young Adult." Unlike Reitman's previous two films ("Juno" and "Up in the Air") this movie's gotten literally no Best Picture buzz at all. This is very understandable. The film is an awkward, uncomfortable and nearly scathing look at a life gone bad after high school. I've yet to know what that feels like, and I pray it's nothing like the "Young Adult" world.
