42 Up Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Their largely negative or only superficially positive responses make me feel guilty about finding the series so fascinating -- and should make the filmmakers feel even guiltier.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
On some level, 42 Up is a startling home-movie time capsule. Simply to behold the aging process with such intimacy is enough to give you a shudder.
Hollywood.com
Chuck Walton
42 Up is a delightful and moving look at humanity through the singular stories of this captivating group.

Perfect. An absolute must-see.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Part of Apted seminal docu series that began with 7Up, then 14, 28, and 35, this chapter centers on the subjects as they head into middle-age, with all its compromises and disappointments.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
One of the best movie series ever is a true-life drama like no other. Miss it at your peril.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Two subjects acknowledge their conjoined lifeline, become best friends, and as a result a life is forever changed.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
As beneficial as helmer's influence may be to that aging franchise, his work here reps a fascinating use of the docu form.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This movie is a living artifact that does what movies do best: exist in time. May this series continue up, up, and beyond.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
This series remains as fascinating as it did when it started - a lifetime ago.
Matinee Magazine
Jason Clark
A fascinating entry in Michael Apted's long-running documentary series.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
When this hugely ambitious project began, it was a longitudinal study of class divisions among English schoolchildren. But time and persistence have turned it into much more.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This series should be sealed in a time capsule. It is on my list of the 10 greatest films of all time, and is a noble use of the medium.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
At its best, the Up series does what art is meant to do: It binds us to others, helps us to identify our feelings and reminds us of our shared humanity.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
The grand, class-society-embracing conception of this film has become too rich for its narrow stylistic confines.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
A bit slower and heavier, but its connection of past and present yields more subtle character twists and contradictions than ever before.
