Movie Reviews

“Shyamalan’s fluid filmmaking style (…) serves him especially well here (…) While Shyamalan is often cited for his tricky endings, it’s arguable that he doesn’t quite stick the landing with this one.” Glenn Kenny: The New York Times

“‘Old’ isn’t so bad, except when it’s terrible (…) [Still] it’s nice to see Shyamalan doing a deranged one-off, taking the movie equivalent of an invigorating stroll in the sun” Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times

“It’s a good premise, but the director doesn’t explore it so much as he throws ideas against the wall (…) ‘Old,’ even once you accept where it’s going, lacks shape and consistency” Owen Gleiberman: Variety
