Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Dec 11, 2018
A ripoff screenplay as shameless as this might survive if the casting were particularly good. Go to Full Review Barry McIlheney Empire Magazine Dec 11, 2018
3/5
Relying on his star name, the film doesn't have to be great and isn't, although Gibson and Curtis try their hardest. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Jul 6, 2010
Remarkably, the director manages to toe the line of melodrama without ever slipping over into camp, balancing those elements with humor and suspense to carry "Forever Young," if not over the moon, at least up in the clouds. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Mar 8, 2022
2.5/5
There’s no emotional epiphany of the mistake he might have made, just a rom-com-esque race against the clock that’s more a showcase for what could be done with make-up to rapidly age a character... Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Dec 11, 2018
3/5
Hollywood used to churn out this kind of fluff with practised ease and it's a pity director Steve Miner couldn't have found the same winning formula here. Go to Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Nov 7, 2008

Lanfranco C @Lanfrancobz May 17, 2026 Tipical sweet story, but the movie is cute. See more mohammed M. @9mr_0 Feb 1, 2026 فلم حلو. القصة كفكرة جيدة لكن حواراتها سطحية وحبكتها بسيطة . الممثلين ادائهم جيد. البطل ادائة ممتاز لكن حضورة اقوى لكن تحس ان اكبر من الفلم . بعض الشخصيات الثانوية ادائها ضعيف و ودات فعلهم مبالغ بها . الاخراج مقبول في البداية سرد احداث القصة بشكل سريع ثم انتقل الى السرد المتزن و ستمر على هذا السرد حتى النهاية بين قوسين اخراج كان تقليدي و محافظ. التصوير كان جيد جدا و الكامرة تتحرك بشكل سلس مع الوان زاهية خلتني كمشاهد اشعر بالدفىء. الموسيقى كانت جيدة ومناسبة للمشهد و تخدم الفلم بشكل رائع. بختصار الفلم دافىء ذا حبكة بسيطة و اجواء جميلة . See more thiago s @Thiagostone Feb 1, 2026 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Dec 23, 2025 What Forever Young lacked in scientific plausibility - it made up for in the decency of humans and the lost era of kindness. See more Tim M @tgmacman Sep 7, 2025 Aging poorly by the second, Forever Young takes its premise of a man out of time far too seriously. See more Mario B @Mario1967 Jun 3, 2025 Merveilleux film...je ne comprends pas ceux qui n'ont pas aimé.Une belle histoire facile à comprendre.Touchant et drôle parfois.Bravo je le recommande énormément 10/10 See more Read all reviews
