    A lot better than the other reviews suggest

    I don't think the mediocre IMDb rating does Junges Licht or Young Light justice. I watched this film without subtitles and my German was not nearly good enough to follow the dialogues. But funnily enough, this turned out to be hardly necessary. The story turned out to be largely to follow for me by only the images and the (very well chosen) music. The cinematography was simple but beautiful. The balcony scenes reminded me of Hitchkock's Rear Window, and the depiction of the German homes from around 1960 was downright believable and done with an eye for detail. I completely understand that a movie like Young Light is not for many (bigot) Americans, especially for those who are already annoyed by lesbian Disney characters. Well, European films are often not for the American audience anyway... Too many subtitles and far too few explosions, I guess. In short 8/10 for me.
