Every Matt Damon Movie Ranked Worst To Best

57. Youth Without Youth (2007)

The Martian Matt Damon
Sony

Based on the novella of the same name, Youth Without Youth was the first film veteran director Francis Ford Coppola had directed in almost a decade. The fantasy-drama sees Tim Roth play an aging academic who is given a new life after a freak accident and goes on a bizarre and enlightening journey.

Damon turns up briefly as a reporter for Life Magazine, giving a decent but all-too-brief performance, and the rest of the film, whilst visually striking and featuring thoughtful ideas, is constantly tripped up by a confusing plot and uneven tone.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
