A truly great and deceptively simple work, redefining the power of film.
This is an amazing record of a group of lives -- and probably more resonant than anyone could have imagined when the project began.
Time is truly on Apted's side because the passing of time not surprisingly brings a richer, deeper perspective with each new segment.
The 7Up series is thus one of the rare documentaries to have had a positive practical effect on the life of at least one of its subjects.
The only film sequels in history that just keep getting better.
Where this still vital series was once about what sets us apart, it now seems to be turning towards the things that, in the end, render us all equal.
A living artifact that does what movies do best: exist in time.
