What if you never had to get older? It sounds like a blessing at first, but if you think about it, it could easily turn into a curse. In The Age of Adaline , Blake Lively plays a woman who stops aging at 29. The world, however, continues to age around her, and Adaline struggles to lead a normal life.
This magical movie features one of Blake Lively’s best performances, a heart-wrenching love story and a stacked cast. The romantic drama is leaving Netflix on April 1, so this is your last chance to check it out. Here are a few reasons why it’s worth watching.
It’s More Than Just a Romance In 1937, Adaline is a happily married new mom when a cataclysmic car accident changes her life in an unexpected way. No matter how many years go by, she doesn’t look any older than she did on the day of the accident. When Adaline realizes she’s stopped aging, she tries to figure out what her condition might be, but she finds she is completely unique.
Unfortunately for her, she’s not the only one who’s curious. After two FBI agents try to kidnap and study her, she has to go on the run, changing her identity every few years, in order to evade capture. This life on the run means severing ties with people she loves, never staying in one place for too long, and never drawing attention to herself.
She even needs to leave her beloved daughter behind. Related: Everything Blake Lively's Costars Have Said About Working With Her Lively Is Just One of the Huge Stars in the Cast One of the mos.
