Shyamalan has made a well-acted summer horror movie, with a touch of humor and a thought-provoking idea or two. - Björn Jansson

"Old" is definitely worth sitting through, maybe not for an extraordinary story, but to see literal entire lives derail within the span of an hour and a half. - Mimi Dahlén

I was unexpectedly moved by a moment towards the end that illustrates what our lives look like. One day you're sitting in the back seat of your parents' car, enjoying your summer break, and the next day you realize that not only have they grown old, but you've also gotten gray hairs yourself. It goes by so fast. - Stefan Hedmark

It's classic Shyamalan – for better and for worse. A surreal summer fling where one's own age paranoia takes the biggest hit. - Patrik Linderholm

I hope that M. Night Shyamalan can do better, otherwise he might as well hang up his hat. - Fredrik Lagnetoft

On the beach, it becomes a mix of soap opera and disaster film, as the guests must try to cooperate, maintain their composure, and have moments when they reflect on their life's mistakes in the hopeless situation. - Mårten Blomkvist

"Old" raises the big questions. Without classic horror movie tricks, director M Night Shyamalan creates a dark thriller that is both pleasant and unsettling. - Jon Asp
