Forever Young

Forever Young is a thought-provoking film that delves into the alluring fantasy of reversing the aging process. The story centers around 70-year-old Robyn, who embarks on a transformative journey after taking a formula that reverses aging. Her portrayal is deep and vulnerable, effectively capturing the emotional complexities of reliving life. The film excels in its subtle visual storytelling, focusing more on the human aspect than the science fiction, which enhances its emotional impact. The narrative's exploration of life choices and regrets is both reflective and resonant, encouraging viewers to contemplate their own decisions and life paths.

The pacing can be uneven at times, and some plot points feel underdeveloped. While the film ambitiously tackles philosophical themes, these occasionally overshadow the personal story. Despite these flaws, its core message about the beauty of embracing life at every stage makes it a compelling watch. It's a film that not only entertains but also inspires introspection, making it a valuable experience for those who appreciate cinema that challenges and enlightens.

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!

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.

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 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.
