Walter: Lessons from the World's Oldest People Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Martin Larsson Evolving around some of the oldest people in the world this is an intimate invitation to reflections on personal values and their historical possibilities and constraints, seen from the perspective of the film maker and his fiancée. But the film also, in a more implicit manner, portraits the contemporary fascination with age, numbers, statistics and records, and its role in media and politics, starting with the idea of making the film itself, and, implicitly, our attraction to the topic as viewers. While the atmosphere of the film is really nice, and the short comments on the encounters in the film make space for more reflection, it could have benefited from some critical distance to the phenomenon. Some metaphors, as a train for life, are too simple, and the emphasis on the different values gives the film a religious touch that I was not completely comfortable with. Overall, the film is nevertheless really worth seeing, and opens up for further discussion.
