Movie Reviews

Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 10/10 by Jeanne KaplanThe running time is over two hours, but the lives here are richly revealed and vastly rewarding.
Television Without Pity - 10/10 by Ethan AlterIf 56 Up is something of a pleasant bore while you're watching it, it gains more resonance when you think about it as the calm before the approaching storm.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaWhat ultimately is so compelling about 56 Up is the universality of the experiences. We were all once children. And we all will die. And in between, there is everything else.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumWe're now at 56 Up,, and with each passing calendar leap, the experience of watching has only become more soul-stirring.
Film-Forward.com - 9/10 by Nora Lee MandelThe granddaddy of longitudinal documentaries impressively reaches grandparenthood. . . continuing to reveal as much about the heard (but not seen) Apted as his interviewees.
Film Racket - 9/10 by Bill Gibrona window into our shared human experience, and a terrific one at that.
What Culture - 9/10 by Shaun MunroThe most vital and moving sociological document of our times remains invigorating despite mostly maintaining the status quo because by now the "characters", older, balder, and podgier, are like old friends.
SSG Syndicate - 9/10 by Susan GrangerContinuing Michael Apted's insightful commentary on how life can be full of surprises.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekQuite simply one of the great documentary projects in the history of cinema, an engrossing sociological experiment on film; and though this mostly mellow installment isn't as revelatory as some earlier ones, it's still a remarkable document.
Film Geek Central - 9/10 by Austin KennedyI think the best thing about this movie (and the entire series) is that it forces the viewer to think about their own lives. It's kind of an awakening experience.
