12 foreign reviews of The Age of Adaline (2015)

1. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film entertains for the moment. But it leaves no aftertaste, despite genuinely trying to tug at the heartstrings.

2. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The superficiality of the central love story means that "The Age of Adaline" has too many traits of melodrama, and it cannot help but become quite mushy at times.

3. Sveriges Radio

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Blake Lively in the lead role is bloodless, and the film doesn't come to life until she meets an aged former love (Harrison Ford).

4. Dagens Nyheter

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: The confused man is convincingly portrayed by Harrison Ford, but most brilliant in another supporting role is Ellen Burstyn as Adaline's aging daughter.

5. Göteborgs-Posten

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: The only thing that elevates "The Age of Adaline" are the fine performances of veterans Ellen Burstyn and Kathy Baker in their respective supporting roles. There is also a remarkable visual and philosophical pull in the scenes between mother and daughter, where the daughter, at her advanced age, tries to articulate her unhappy, desperate "young" mother's life.

8. Toppraffel

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: I can very well imagine that the target audience of this film will sit with their heads tilted and think that it is so nice, so nice.

9. Fredrik Fyhr

3.7 / 10

Translated from swedish: "The Age of Adaline" has come up with a good idea and dismantled it, and with the scraps, has tried to build up a completely ordinary romantic TV movie.

10. Svenska Dagbladet

3.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: When Harrison Ford appears, "The Age of Adaline" suddenly becomes a bit more interesting.

11. Sydsvenskan

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: Buttery romantic fantasy

12. Nöjesguiden

1.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Don't worry: it is sickly “romantic” all the way. Moreover, not only Adaline is experienced, but also her life, as extremely dull and slow, largely thanks to some sort of record for slow-motion scenes. In summary, one could certainly claim that you leave the cinema older, but that there are better things to fill your life with.
