The Forty-Year-Old Version

...a rangy, laidback, one-woman-show type of film with an interesting tang of disillusionment.

Endearing, erudite and dripping with humour, Blank serves up an authentic commentary on the artist’s struggle, from a perspective too often ignored, and delivers a lyrical love letter to New York.

...funny, thoughtful, and profane.

...is soaked with her talent and poise and her underlying sense of irony and justice, all of which makes one grateful for the way this spills over with ideas at a time when lots of movies offer none.

A spiky, lovable tale about a confused playwright who finds a second creative wind in hip hop.

...a stunning comedy about compromise.
