The Age of Adaline

An unconventional romantic film that boasts a particularly original premise and a likeable cast featuring Blake Lively, Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, and Ellen Burstyn. It would certainly be wonderful if we could stay "forever young", but nature has done it justice and one of her laws is natural aging, so there is no danger of watching our loved ones and friends pass away without aging a day. What I liked about the film was how the different time periods in Adaline's life were interwoven (not just) through flashbacks, as well as the incorporation of the comet motif. In short, a nice and sweet film that is a nice pleasant of drama, romance and mystery. (07/09/2015)

A modern romantic fairy tale with the breathtaking Blake Lively, a story that is easy to understand and with a very interesting and also original role for Harrison Ford (not including the fact that his character’s name is Jones and he is a doctor). I also liked the representative of Ford's “younger version" - tell us, Mrs. Ingruber, what happened back then? (02/08/2017)

Probably one of the best films of the year. Filmed as if in a light haze of 1990s nostalgia and sincerity, incredibly charming and restrained, and with Blake Lively brilliantly hitting the mark. It is devoid of unnecessary gloss and superfluous dialogue, everything is exactly as it should without any unnecessary scenes, filled with buckets of emotions where everyone can take something away. Entertaining, heartfelt, easily relatable for almost all audiences, with a thought-provoking theme about how painful it is to live forever as the only one, and the sacrifices and complex and questionable life decisions and situations such a person must undergo.

I really liked the whole idea, but unfortunately towards the end, it lost a little bit of its momentum for me and it was too much in line with what is expected from an American romantic movie. There were no surprises and I think the whole potential of the idea wasn't utilized. Nevertheless, it is one of the most beautiful romances I have seen from the United States in recent times.

After a long time, a good quality romance that won’t be forgotten and might become a genre reference, such as the The Notebook. Audio-visually beautiful, bordering on slightly tacky, but the sophisticated storyline and an atmosphere of the fateful and inevitable passage of time in a human life make it into a love story that will tug at your heartstrings. The “science fiction” element that starts the story is not jarring, but rather gives the film a dreamy storybook charm. The film would have been even better with a young Meryl Streep, but Blake Lively’s performance is enough and her feminine fragility and beauty adds the right romantic charm. A good role for Harrison Ford is also something nice to see these days. Almost five stars. (31/07/2015)
