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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
