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.

Lively is appealing, natural and often touching.

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

Rated: 4/5

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.

After watching Ellis coercing Adeline to go on a date by threatening to withhold the donation I could not watch one more second. Made in 2015- thankfully this kind of vile male conduct would not be allowed today. Don't watch this make fantasy film.

Blake Lively is not a good actress, and the industry should just stop the nonsense of giving chances to ruin movies to nepo babies without talent. There are plenty of talented actors whose parents are well-known in Hollywood, Lively is not one of them. Waste of screenplays every single time!

This would be a 5 star movie if it wasn’t for one annoying thing. The narration! The guy’s voice sounds like an AI instagram voiceover and he’s giving far too much scientific information to explain Adeline’s condition and experiences. It’s really quite annoying because whenever he speaks he’s ruining a fantastic movie. The narration is heavy at the start of the movie and comes back to annoy you at the end but other than that it’s still a great movie and definitely worth a watch.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
