Time Is On My Side...Yes it Is (or at least we hope it is)

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2009)

Oh how people argue about this fantasy. Critics and regular Joes alike...
Yes it is true: If the premise doesn't grab you, the movie remains a shallow yet beautifully crafted dud.
Yes it is also true: If the premise does grab you, there lies a wonderful fable about life and mortality amidst a technically spellbinding film.
"Everybody wants to live a long life, but nobody wants to grow old."
I'm not sure where I heard or read this quote before. But this curious movie about a man aging in reverse takes this notion and propels it to unexpected heights.
That is of course...if you accept the premise. It's a bit like life sometimes, you have to buy into it, otherwise it may pass you by.
