YOUNG@HEART a Hit Among Critics at Sundance

See what they're saying below! YOUNG@HEART opens in select theatres April 18th, and you can visit the film's Web page here.

On the USA Today blog:

"...People were walking out with smiles at the liveliness in those white-haired bodies."

From the Vanity Fair blog:

Under "Three-Hanky Comedy": "From the moment the film begins, with a close-up on the whiskered chin of an irrepressibly flirty 92-year-old, you know you’re in for a treat... you soon find yourself utterly involved in the lives of these men and women as they try to pin down new songs such as James Brown’s 'I Feel Good' and Sonic Youth’s 'Schizophrenia.'"

From EW.com's Popwatch:

"This documentary, which follows the choir — average age 80 — as they prepare for a performance in their hometown of Northampton, Mass., is something you should see when it comes to your town. (Fox Searchlight is distributing.) The music, needless to say, is terrific — their take on Sonic Youth is genius — and watching them learn complex songs basically by ear is fascinating."

From Slashfilm:

"This film won me over, and actually almost drew a few tears. Young@Heart is a great film... It is so refreshing to see these elderly characters, alive with so much energy, as opposed to the often seen images of them wasting away in nursing homes. These are old people that sing loud music, stay out late at gigs, and travel the world to perform. They’re not dead until the day they really die, and that is so inspiring to see."

From ComingSoon.net:

"Not just a movie for older people but one for those who have elderly parents or grandparents, this entertaining and often moving documentary captures a moment in time in the lives of these amazing older people, something that should help even the youngest of viewer get in touch with their own mortality and make it clear that life doesn't have to end at 60."

And finally from DarkHorizons.com:

"Irresistible... if [Searchlight] markets it well, it could prove a major hit if reaction thus far is anything to go by... Full of vivid humor on the part of its array of colorful characters, this sublime film is not only funny but also deeply human as it teaches us that age is no barrier to fulfilling one's dreams."
