It's a glorious film, in large part because it is a reminder of in what low regard we often hold those of "a certain age." You'll come out of the theater full of respect and admiration for these people.
Older Than Ireland isn't relentlessly upbeat. It's filled with stories of loss, disappointment, tough lessons learned and compromises made, and it's hard not to suspect that the genetic hand you're dealt counts for a lot.
You’ll shed a tear or two, possibly more.
A charming, moving and over-too-soon portrait of a country, and of what it means to have a longer than expected life.
There is a fair share of such Betty White-ish feistiness on display, but the pathos creeps in unexpectedly.
In giving equal weight to all subjects, “Older” flirts with triviality.... But Fegan punctuates some commonplace observations with more peppery ones.
Though never managing to surprise us much, this brisk encounter with the living past has moments of charm and the occasional fresh perspective.
