| User ReviewChris SDo yourself a favor and watch this entire series. |
| User ReviewJason WUp Series - GENERAL REVIEW GREAT, GREAT, GREAT series to watch these movies...started watching them all in order in 2007... (by coincidence one of the subjects ends up living in Madison, WI!) So very interesting to watch this non-statistically-relevant social experiment unfold... Reality TV before there was Reality TV... We see a little of ourselves in each on of the characters and family... A masterful editing of subject matter, to get the audience to CARE about each of the subjects and APPRECIATE things from their lives... Ebert puts this series in his all-time top 10 or even top 5 lists...I agree... A must-watch for anyone over the age of 25... |
| User ReviewRachel BThe UP series is absolutely brilliant!!!! I can't recomend this highly enough! |
| User ReviewHannah MJust one of the chapters in the greatest documentary ever made. |
| User ReviewAndy KAs the subjects make the transition from childhood to adulthood, the series develops into a feature film instead of a television special. The extended length adds tedium, yet the interesting insights, happenings and observations in the lives of the now 21 year olds are still there. |
| User ReviewHarrison WLove it! Keep it up, Apted. Still heartbreaking, but different. Really powerful seeing everyone grow up. I love seeing everyone in their bell bottoms. |
| User ReviewJaime RNow, all of these children have careers and their lives to get even more interesting. |
| User ReviewHarrison RThe whole series is perfect, though each episode independently isn't that interesting |
