"Mustering almost half of the entire sphere of British thespians, the cast is an embarrassment of riches, with prestigious names like Peter O'Toole and John Mills in cameos and bit parts, but first-time actor Stephen Campbell Moore only makes a bland man-about-town, whereas a 23-year-old James McAvoy shows appreciable ranges as the desperate columnist Simon Balcom, and as the bohemian fruitcake Agatha, a ditzy Fenella Woolgar is both hilarious and heartrending with her larger-than-life bravura. By and large, BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS is a coruscating time capsule that attests the old-time adage: all that glitters is hardly gold."
