Likes : I'm not normal a fan of drama films as they cant be a little to slow boring, but this film just absolutely blow me away on just how beautiful & clever the story has been written, but just how amazing the acting is in this film.
I love the narrative in this film explaining curtain part of the film it add to the magical feel this film had that really bring your heart to melt in some part as it bring you to tears through heart break & emotional moments with outstanding performances.
This film beg the question of curiosity of how you would be if you were to remain 29 years of age for the rest of your life? some people would probable jump at the chance without realise the consequences of being immortal , while others would consider how would you feel that you couldn't really get attached to any one in the life you would lead this film show this perfectly.
For the character in the film this was the life of Adeline Bowman played by the incredibly amazing talented & incredibly beautiful actress (Blake Lively). Through a series of fantastic phenomena, she has remained as a 29 year old for eight decades which really show just how incredibly hard it is to live a live like that that is what make this a beautiful made film.
She has to experience a life of solitude and separation, because she cannot age with those that she is closest to in her life. Her life is veiled in secrecy, until she meets Ellis Jones played by (Michiel Huisman), a philanthropist who ignites her passion for life and unknowingly he is a link to her past. What seems to be an innocent weekend away, becomes a crossroads for the truth and a chance for her to decide what she will do with the rest of her life. Harrison Ford good to see him in a role again delivering a believable performance as the father of Ellis.
If there is one story that really touches your heart this is it, such a beautiful told love story even those romantic at heart will love. You couldn't faultier this film one bit, truly an-outstanding love story that will test the boundary of time.
Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film.
Overall : True amazing, beautiful made, outstanding performance, Blake Lively is incredible in this film a must to watch
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9.6 out of 10 for story concept.
