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

Critics Consensus

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.

The unhurried storytelling matches Adaline's endless life, making this a respectable date movie.

Like Adaline, the film gives the sense of being somewhat uncomfortable in 2015, but while the movie makes a case for romanticizing the past, Adaline's story shows the limitations of detaching yourself from the present.

4/5

Despite a cold and off-putting third-person narration, Adaline is a film that eventually will melt the most of cynical of cinemagoers' hearts.

There’s a genuine sweetness and charm in this fantasy romance that sweeps me off my feet. Lively does a fine job carrying this film with her beauty and grace.

I watched the movie - and then restarted and watched it again. I have never done that. I enjoyed it that much. Blake was captivating and I don't necessarily look for her work - but I will now! Great story, great acting.

I loved the movie. I thought all the actors were believable and well cast. I can’t understand how it only got a mediocre rating because it was a superb movie with a different twist that kept me interested during the whole movie. The ending was very satisfying as I couldn’t guess as to how it would end. Good movie for sure!

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

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!

My husband and I watched this without knowing what the film was about. I’m glad we didn’t know. We found it to be sweet if not a little sad but we enjoyed the story and the ending.
