After miraculously remaining 29 years old for almost eight decades, Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) has lived a solitary existence, never allowing herself to get close to anyone who might reveal her secret. But a chance encounter with charismatic philanthropist Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman) reignites her passion for life and romance. When a weekend with his parents (Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker) threatens to uncover the truth, Adaline makes a decision that will change her life forever.
Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) is due to an accident or circumstance. Stops aging. Everyone around Adaline does not stop. Many dogs and loves later, she must decide if she is going to keep running. Sooner or later, fate will catch up with her.
What would you do if you had Adaline’s constitution?
It could have been a run-of-the-mill, cute movie. However, it has depth. It leaves you thinking.
The movie has a lot of beautiful environments (mostly British Columbia) and music.
