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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

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

"Old" is a fiendish idea only partially realized.

Rated: 2.5/4

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

Old is one of those cases of a remarkably unique, intriguing concept failing to reach its potential due to an overall disappointing execution of too many ideas.
