Alex Rose, writing for Cult MTL, after stating that they had trouble connecting with Shyamalan's directorial style in the past, stated the film "certainly doesn’t buck the trend, painstakingly stretching out a decent Twilight Zone premise into a boneheaded treatise on aging and medical ethics (?!) that winds up being less than the sum of its parts. Working in overtly allegorical mode, Shyamalan pulls out all the stops visually to little avail."Old is M. Night Shyamalan firing on all cylinders… unfortunately - Alex Rose - 22 July 2021 - Cult MTL - Retrieved 25 July 2021
Brad Jones rated the film a B-, stating that he was consistently entertained by the film, even if it was sometimes for the wrong reasons. He stated, "... The movie makes so many bizarre choices that it's endlessly fascinating- Not always for the right reasons! It is so awkward... The way they act, the dialogue, the choices characters make, their reactions! This is one of those movies that's like aliens putting on a horror film, yet hiring a really damn good cinematographer, and having a great story. And, on top of that, secretly taking acid halfway through, and getting ever more batshit crazy!"Old - Movie Review - Stoned Gremlin Productions - 28 July 2021 - YouTube - Retrieved 29 July 2021
