Old (2021) movie spoiler free review

A trip to the beach can become the last day of your life. The latest film of M. Night Shyamalan is here, a true summer triller.

Not a happy summer

A family on a tropical holiday decides to spend a few hours at a secluded and idyllic beach decorated by natural rock pools, a sandy shore, and encircled by green cliffs. But after being there for a short time, they notice that their children are aging rapidly, growing into adults in the span of mere hours.

Official plot

My opinion

With M. Night Shyamalan you can only get a really good movie or the worst one ever. Here he brought a unique concept that works decently. When a film is 1 hour and 49 minutes long what can be expected is an insane amount of details with the right explanation but that didn’t happen.

The film tries to do so much that ends doing nothing. It felt like I’d keep throwing situations and details and by the end it was too much to conclude. Still, it’s interesting with good acting and plot.
