The Age of Adaline Review
Ratings:3.5 Review By: Gavin Site:TOI
Apart from these two strong characters, it is Harrison Ford (playing Ellis' dad William) who proves his vintage with a performance that is both sensitively executed and thoroughly convincing. Apart from an ending that seemed a tad stretched and the voiceovers that were unnecessary, this is an unusual and engaging saga of everlasting love.

As expected, there is plenty of sentimentality at play, with Harrison Ford turning up in a tearjerker angle of the story. If you're on the lookout for a date movie with plenty of schmaltz, this movie delivers on various levels. It's harmless for sure, and by the corny end you'll have already forgotten most of the events prior to it. And if you liked 'Gossip Girl', then Blake Lively in the film would be enough to keep you entertained. But if you're looking for a smart movie that goes into the morality and ethics of never ageing, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Then there’s their chemistry and the individual charm they bring to their roles (Huisman plays Ellis with much earnestness, while Lively invests Adaline with reserve and grace). Predictably, Harrison Ford is a treat to watch as Ellis’ father. It’s also interesting to see the exchanges between Adaline and her daughter (Ellen Burstyn) — the disparity between their ages and experiences and their relation to each other, a reversal of the usual mother-daughter equation in so many ways. Adding a touch of whimsy to the film is the grave narrator, who fills us in on the story from time to time.The Age of Adaline then is a pleasant enough depiction of passion, if not a deep rumination on the perils of eternal youth.
