Forever Young

This is a masterful exploration of aging, regret, and the chance for a second go at life, centered around the compelling story of Robyn, a 70-year-old woman who discovers a formula that reverses aging. Pretorius skilfully blends fantasy and reality, crafting a narrative that's as thought-provoking as it is emotionally engaging. The film's technical brilliance shines through in its stunning cinematography and evocative soundtrack, enhancing the story's introspective and whimsical nature. As a 45-year-old viewer, I found the film's handling of themes like life's regrets and the desire for change deeply resonant. Forever Young stands out not just for its entertainment value but for its poignant commentary on life, making it a memorable cinematic experience that speaks to the complexities of aging and the possibilities of life's second chances.

A easy to watch well produced film with high quality acting and a flowing relaxing feel to it. The concept is a well trodden field regarding the "what if" we could revert to our youth. It explores the dilemma between deciding what you would change given another chance and contrasts between two juxtapositions within a marriage where one party wants to change the past and the other feels that it should be left well alone! The film is relaxed and in many parts amusing with well chosen locations and well written script. Don't take it too seriously as there is no right answer offered to the question so just relax and enjoy it!

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.

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.

First time im writing a review in months; the last time I wrote a review was in December. I just haven't seen any good movies that would spark a need for me to write a review. Until I cam across the movie ''Forever Young. By the way, THIS movie is 100000 times better than The Substance- 100% better.

But wow!! What an incredible movie that touches all your senses! It makes you reflect on life and everything in between. This movie is relevant for EVERYONE due to its topic. It's scary how this movie shows the things people think about. It's scary that a lot of people don't want to become old. It's scary how accurate this movie is when we think about our lives. They made this movie so well that it will touch every fiber in your soul.

Diana Quick, Mark Jackson, Bernard Hill and Bernard Hill played their parts perfectly. They were born for these roles.

It's a movie that will make you reflect on everything in your life. It's like watching our own lives in some way.

The scary part of it all is that if a certain ''drug'' were available to the public, I feel 99% of the public would use it. It's sad in ways, too. Why is life like this, and why do people think like this? Why we sometimes mourn our younger days. Anyhow this movie will touch a lot of things inside you and will create some kind of debate within yourself.

100% go watch this movie; you won't regret it!
