Forever Young

The initial reviews had me check this one out. I was duped by reviews that are bots or have a vested interest in the movie behind their rating. It is OK at best and I'm typically generous in my reviews and I feel I'm being generous with a 5. For movies about chasing youth this one isn't the worst but no way this is a 9 or 10 out of 10 stars. Nothing special at all, acting OK, story is somewhat thin because you could see what was coming very early in the movie, and soundtrack didn't pair well with most of the scenes (now I'm being nit-picky to get my required characters in). This movie is just meh...wouldn't recommend.

A thoughtful rendition of a loving old couple presented with a dilemma that threatens to sever their bond. She is frustrated because he cannot provide a convincing explanation as to why he refuses to take the elixir of life. Her exasperation compels her to push and prod him to no avail. He has a reason for refusing but he keeps it a secret for what he believes to be altruistic reasons. Despite his refusal, she still loves him dearly even as she regains her youth. Complicating matters, the source of the elixir is her old boyfriend, who still yearns for her. She continues her campaign of convincing him to take the elixir, going as far as adopting a homeless drug addict. The elixir of youth is an attractive proposition but grief and loss lurk.

I really enjoyed this quiet British drama. The acting and writing were a joy but it will not appeal to short attention spans.

The performances in Forever Young are particularly noteworthy. The cast, led by dynamic and nuanced leads, brings an authentic and heartfelt depth to their characters. Their portrayal of the complexities of relationships, both romantic and platonic, resonates with a genuine sense of emotion and relatability. The chemistry among the actors is palpable, creating moments that are as charming as they are moving.

The use of color, lighting, and thoughtful shot composition adds to the film's overall allure, making it not only a story but an artistic experience. The soundtrack, a blend of contemporary and classic tunes, further elevates the film's mood, encapsulating the timeless theme of the movie. Forever Young is more than just a film; it's a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of youth and the timeless beauty of life's journey.

A terrific movie and love story. Being in love with someone who has the qualities you admire, but qualities you may not have makes a wonderful couple. The husband should be nominated for an Oscar, so kind you didnt notice his age. The daughter has a great voice.

Forever Young really caught my eye with its inventive plot. It's about a older woman who gets a chance to reverse aging and experience life anew. The idea is super intriguing - it's like a fantasy scenario we all probably think about at some point.

The movie does a great job balancing the excitement and complexities of regaining youth. There's a good mix of humor, drama, and thought-provoking moments. The acting is solid, bringing a lot of depth to the characters' journey through this unusual situation.

This is for sure a refreshing take on the age-old question of 'what if you could turn back time?' It's definitely a film that leaves you thinking and appreciating the life you have. Great for a movie night, especially if you're into films that blend a bit of fantasy with real-world emotions.
