Though never managing to surprise us much, this brisk encounter with the living past has moments of charm and the occasional fresh perspective.

Fegan draws on the wealth of Irish beauty: fairyland landscapes, quaint interiors, gaily painted doors and windows and the people who live there. He puts these snapshots together with a puckish wit.

It's a glorious film, in large part because it is a reminder of in what low regard we often hold those of "a certain age."

4/5

Full of brilliantly captured candid moments, Older Than Ireland is a chirpy little charmer.

Fegan treats his venerable subjects with care. If he doesn't seem to push them hard (we never hear him guiding the questioning), he clearly finds a place of rapport with them.

8/10

At times, the viewer simply watches the silence, and the film has a tendency to drag, but the filmmaker's choice in this is understandable, as it appears to be both a nod of respect and a touch of human fascination with mortality.

Enjoyable little Irish documentary about centenarians who talk about their 100+ years living in Ireland. Funny at times and touching & sad at times. Thank goodness for the subtitles. Those accents...WOW.
