Probably one of the best films of the year. Filmed as if in a light haze of 1990s nostalgia and sincerity, incredibly charming and restrained, and with Blake Lively brilliantly hitting the mark. It is devoid of unnecessary gloss and superfluous dialogue, everything is exactly as it should without any unnecessary scenes, filled with buckets of emotions where everyone can take something away. Entertaining, heartfelt, easily relatable for almost all audiences, with a thought-provoking theme about how painful it is to live forever as the only one, and the sacrifices and complex and questionable life decisions and situations such a person must undergo.

An unconventional romantic film that boasts a particularly original premise and a likeable cast featuring Blake Lively, Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, and Ellen Burstyn. It would certainly be wonderful if we could stay "forever young", but nature has done it justice and one of her laws is natural aging, so there is no danger of watching our loved ones and friends pass away without aging a day. What I liked about the film was how the different time periods in Adaline's life were interwoven (not just) through flashbacks, as well as the incorporation of the comet motif. In short, a nice and sweet film that is a nice pleasant of drama, romance and mystery.

I really liked the whole concept, but unfortunately, towards the end, it started to lose momentum for me and became too predictable, adhering too much to what is expected from an American romantic film. There were no surprises and I think the full potential of the idea was not utilized. Still, it's one of the best romances I've seen from the United States in a while.

A very, very beautiful film. A smart tale about the fate of love and inevitability in human life that grabs you by the heart not only with a sweet story that incorporates a sensitive sci-fi plot, but above all with its magical atmosphere of fatefulness and the simple but compelling, and very distinctive narration. The result is not overly sweet yet tasteful, and very, very touching. Plus the gorgeous Blake Lively and the eternally likeable Ford. 85%

A modern romantic fairy tale with the breathtaking Blake Lively, a story that is easy to understand and with a very interesting and also original role for Harrison Ford (not including the fact that his character’s name is Jones and he is a doctor). I also liked the representative of Ford's “younger version" - tell us, Mrs. Ingruber, what happened back then?
