I could tell the movie was cut bc the plots were not so cohesive. And I heard rumors that it was cut due to political reasons.

The filmmakers over-extend themselves to solicit empathy for their doomed protagonists. Youth is so unbearably nice that I eventually wished it were remade by misanthropes.

The film’s themes mature from adolescent pettiness to adult regret, with several epilogues set well after the main events of the story.

As a straight, sentimental melodrama, Youth works well. While there are a lot of conventional tropes, the cast enacts them with such fresh, tenderhearted sincerity that they regain some power.
