A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.

“Excellent performances, a truly poignant story. See it, you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector Lee Toland Krieger wisely speeds through the scientific mumbo-jumbo, treating it as the least-interesting aspect of this tale. Instead, he focuses on the relationship fallout of Adalineu0026#39;s predicament. Itu0026#39;s a disarmingly affecting film, and very sad at points. A rumination on loneliness. Cinematically, Krieger serves up numerous arching, overhead shots and slow-motion sequences. This coupled with the various time periods tackled gives the picture a buoyant sense of scope.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eParticularly memorable in this is Harrison Ford. After stiff and stagey efforts in movies such as u0026quot;42,u0026quot; Ford delivers a beautifully conflicted performance as a man trying to reconcile his past.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHighly recommended.”
