The Forty-Year-Old Version - Reviews

...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.

...a fearless, razor-sharp comedy that breathes new life into independent filmmaking.

...Radha Blank, der både instruerer, producerer og spiller den altoverskyggende hovedrolle, har noget på hjerte.

...filmen känns ny, fräsch, rolig och rakt igenom unik.

Oavsett om det är Eat, pray, love eller Dirty grandpa brukar filmer om ovärdigt åldrande vara lika konstnärliga som ett slitet pappaskämt. The forty year old version är skönt nog ett flabbvänligt undantag.
