Leave your thoughts about 35 Up.
| New York TimesJanet Maslin[35 Up] finds this series growing increasingly rueful with age. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe film's realism is as ruthless as it is low-key. It's impossible not to look at the 35-year-old woman and mourn the loss of the 7-year-old girl. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThere's certainly plenty of food for thought here, but most of it is served raw rather than cooked -- most of the significance of the development of faces, physiques, aspirations, and attitudes over three decades is left to the subjects themselves. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyPart of Apted's seminal series that began with 7Up, this segment has different dynamics, emphasizing the children of the subjects and the deaths of their parents, showing stronmg evidence of the life cycle. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasAnother engrossing entry in a groundbreaking series. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris Hicks35 Up is about life, real life from childhood through adulthood. |
| User ReviewShawn MUp 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 ReviewDaniel Afirst of all, this five star rating is a general rating to the whole series, aswel as the review. secondly, its a magnificent study, more than anything else. more than the label of documentary or tv show. I saw the whole series, from when the subjects were still children, until they're 49, and I must say, its so damn interesting to see and reflect on how people, in general, evolve, wether mentally or physically. Its also briliant because it provides a comparison basis to the viewers, as it did for me. Its no problem to be 7 and say you want to be an astronaut and prefer to play instead of thinking about girls, its no problem to be 21 and don't have a clue of what to do in the future. these are just some examples of some things that are all part of life and growing up, and this doc proves that quite well. |
| User ReviewCecily BThe 30s ... Now they are starting to look back , reflect on what's gone by and mostly regret what might have been. They are more honest here and walking along with them this time was no easy ride; in fact, it was quite painful, specially when it came to Neil; but all said and done, this is my favorite part of the series so far. |
