Sitara G @sitara Jun 18 Age of Adeline does what’s best with film as a medium, explore lives and realities outside the normal senses and modes of being.

See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Apr 9 Simple story, but it hits straight in the heart. Adeline feels almost angelic, quietly carrying a lifetime of emotions. Blake Lively brings a soft, haunting grace that really stays with you. Not complex, but it lingers in the best way!

We found it to be sweet if not a little sad but we enjoyed the story and the ending. See more Shaun D @Sheva10 Jan 25 Here is where I'm different. I don't read previews or watch trailers. I watched this without having any clue on what was about to unfold. In some ways it's a good thing and others, not so much. It was great not knowing what I was seeing, but on the other hand, this really rocked me to my absolute core. It was cool how it was set in the past and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge was fantastic to see in it's early years. This movie made very emotional; from the half way point right until I was an absolute mess at the end. I found the plot so sad, on two occasions I thought it was predictable, but there were other moments where I was in gasp. This film really captivated me, but I think my experience is rare, because once you know the truth, you can't go back. I never want to watch it again, because I felt genuinely sad, but I give it a high rating, because it caused me such high degree of emotion and was well played. I enjoyed Harrison Ford's character he was great in this. See more Matthew T @Mattonio76 Jan 24 The Age of Adaline is a bland romance wrapped inside what could have been a clever sci-fi fantasy. The core issue is the delivery—it feels like a paint-by-numbers narrative, made interesting only by the possibilities it never fully explores. That said, it’s not a bad film, and it does have its charms. Unfortunately, Adaline’s plight is presented with such persistent melancholy that it overshadows any sense of wonder the premise hints at. Ironically, the most whimsical element of the fantasy may be the omniscient narrator explaining it all. To its credit, the film does stick the landing, avoiding over-the-top schmaltz in favor of a more honest, sincere reflection on love and life. This is one of those movies that always looked intriguing in the trailers, yet felt destined to disappoint. I wasn’t wrong—but it’s fine, and it still ranks above much of the disposable romance fare released these days. See more Read all reviews
