The Age of Adaline ruminates on mortality less compellingly than similarly themed films, but is set apart by memorable performances from Blake Lively and Harrison Ford. Read critic reviews

When a weekend with Ellis' parents threatens to expose the truth, Adaline makes a decision that changes her life forever.

The movie premise of the lady that would not age due to an accident is presented by an off voice in a way that leaves no doubts about the sincerity of the story told. The plot itself has all the trademarks of a classic love drama, especially the San Francisco scenes have their very own charm. The cast works great together, the twist gives the last act a very new dynamic. Romantics will certainly enjoy this.

In one of the most surprising films I have seen in a very long time, "Age of Adaline" presents an extremely engaging and effective story. That however, is the films biggest flaw as well. After crashing into a river, a lightning bolt henceforth makes Adaline immune to the ravages of time. To me that storyline is a little iffy. The magical way the narrator explains it in the film and the way the world evolves around her, was very beautiful to me. Yes, it is a stretch to believe this to ever happen in reality, but if you let that slide, you may just have a wonderful time watching this as I did. "Age of Adaline" is well-acted, well-directed, and especially well-scripted. I believed everything each character said and how they reacted to her. Overall, "Age of Adaline" has imperfections, but I really bought into this story and I wanted to see even more. I really like this film.

Blake Lively plays the titular character in this charming and extremely well executed piece of love and the perils of ageing. Lively has a trance-like aura that will captivate audiences to watch her every movement, giving a performance that is sincere and heartfelt. While some may find the movie to be a bit slow, every scene has its place in conveying a message of how long can you run from happiness and from love? The supporting cast is lovely and not underutilised, with Ellen Burstyn giving a touching performance as Adaline's daughter, while Michiel Huisman plays the primary love interest, giving some depth to what would otherwise be a one-dimensional character. Finally there is Harrison Ford, who surprisingly also gives an emotional turn as the aged William Jones as his present, past and future all reconnect in a timely manner, giving him plenty of material to give an emotional bitter-sweet performance. Is the movie perfect? No. But it sure has a lot of charm and a lot of heart going for it. 3/5
