Critics Consensus

Old has no shortage of interesting ideas -- and writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's uneven execution will intrigue or annoy viewers, with little middle ground between.

Audience Says

Love him or hate him, no one makes movies quite like M. Night Shyamalan -- and no one else could have made Old.

The story doesn't always stitch together because the characterisations are fleeting.

It is interesting, but definitely walks a tight rope and I imagine some viewers having enough. It would've worked better as a short.

I found myself giddy with laughter at points in Old, and oddly disturbed at other points. Mostly I had a wonderful time in the theater giggling like a school-girl with my buddy Bryce, tittering over little jokes we made or quotes we thought of.

It is fun throughout, though, and the director manages to hint at some deeper themes even as he throws in his familiar fairground flourishes.

Shyamalan’s efforts to stretch this into 108 minutes leaves far too many dull lapses.
