Older

A great film about people getting older that is very dialogue driven with good acting and a great story. The story is very simple but entertaining.

90% of the reviews are obviously written by lovers of New Zealand or worked on the movie. The script is average and the acting is awful. Liked the concept, but the execution was not very good.

I really enjoyed watching "Older". It´s about relationships and what to do when you get to a certain age. If you are at an age where you can relate to Alex, you will definitely enjoy the movie.

Aside from that, I think the crew does a really good job. Guy Pigden writes, directs and plays the protagonist. That´s 3 though jobs to do and the movie delivers.

Well done!

Don't get me wrong - it has its moments. And I do appreciate the acting of both Liesha Ward Knox and Astra McLaren, however - Guy, buddy, just.. don't.

I quite liked the story, it is universal, more relatable that i thought it would be, and it is - I dare to say - important. However. Guy - this part is for you: the most annoying and hurting thing is that your eyes never seem to be there, it is just too off. Think about it. Do write another movie, jtry putting someone else in a spot. You'll be fine without doing everything yourself. And the movie will be better.

"Older" is part drama, part romance, but most importantly it is a slice of life movie that feels authentic. The movie is well shot- it looks beautiful, the pacing is good, and the cast is very likable. We follow Alex, who is torn between the girl of his dreams and an old high school friend he has not seen in years. We have all had experiences where we have wanted something so badly, but maybe, just maybe it wasn't the best thing for us. "Older" plays with that theme in a way that feels real and relatable. I recommend giving it a watch.
