Adaline Bowman has miraculously remained a youthful 29-years-of-age for nearly eight decades, never allowing herself to get close to anyone lest they discover her secret. However, a chance encounter with a charismatic philanthropist named Ellis Jones reawakens Adaline's long-suppressed passion for life and romance. 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.

This is romantic and yet subtle. It takes time to savor but also not dragging. Great pacing and captivates you through bits and pieces of moments. Great acting and chemistry between characters. This is one of the few movies I enjoyed watching it more than once.

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.
