Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: These are moving images of touchingly vibrant lives at certain moments in time and space.
Fresh: We're now at 56 Up,, and with each passing calendar leap, the experience of watching has only become more soul-stirring.
Fresh: To see "56 Up" is to be reunited with an old friend.
Fresh: Inevitably, one looks in the mirror afterward and thinks, What have I lost? What have I gained? And at what cost?

Another installment of a great series
A documentary series like no other. I've grown right along with these people having started the series at 28 up when I was 15. It's like catching up with old friends. Plus I always want to find out how Neil is doing, his story was always the most compelling.
This is the greatest documentary ever made
as good as this film is -- do yourself a favor and go back and watch all of the "episodes" going back to 7-UP. Their story is all of our stories. I will always be grateful that these people have allowed us to grow and age with them. Watching every episode has impacted on my own life.
It never gets old
I'm a fan of this documentary series so I saw this in the theater in NYC. It's highly engaging as all the others are. Can't wait for the next one!
