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. (09/07/2015)

I've already mentioned a couple of times that, despite my cynical approach to life, I sometimes do have a romantic moment and Adaline was right on time for it. Despite minor issues, I enjoyed the film and had a good time with it. Blake Lively was a great choice for the lead role. She’s really nice to look at, and is also a great actress, which is a perfect combination. The story wasn’t exactly original, but the creators handled it in a way that suited me perfectly.

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? (08/02/2017)

The Age of Adaline has a certain supernatural air about it from the very beginning, just like Forrest Gump or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; that’s also why it’s very pleasant to watch and it basically doesn’t have any essential flaws. The only small downside could be that although the movie came up with an interesting premise, the actual filmmaking was absolutely ordinary, to satisfy anybody’s taste. In any case, there’s not many high-quality movies of this type and they’re always a joy to watch. Plus, I was also very surprised by Blake Lively who played a role the entire movie stands or falls by – and she was absolutely perfect. (07/28/2015)

A very, very beautiful film. A smart tale about the fate of love and inevitability in human life that grabs you by the heart not only with a sweet story that incorporates a sensitive sci-fi plot, but above all with its magical atmosphere of fatefulness and the simple but compelling, and very distinctive narration. The result is not overly sweet yet tasteful, and very, very touching. Plus the gorgeous Blake Lively and the eternally likeable Ford. 85% (11/25/2015)
