Forever Young

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!

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.

The film's direction is sensitive and thoughtful, avoiding the clichés of glorifying youth, instead offering a poignant reflection on life's choices and the idea of redemption. This narrative is enhanced by a script that balances humor and pathos, engaging the audience both intellectually and emotionally. The supporting cast adds depth, each character reflecting different aspects of Robyn's past and present, enriching the storyline.

Forever Young is more than a tale about turning back time; it's a meditation on life, love, and the impact of our choices. The cinematography and soundtrack complement the film's themes, creating an immersive experience. This film is a must-watch for those who appreciate cinema that not only entertains but also inspires introspection and touches the heart.

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.

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.
