The Age of Adeline

I have recently watched my new favorite movie of all time. The Age of Adeline , starring Blake Lively, came out in 2015 and has such a unique and tear jerking storyline. When Adeline was twenty-nine, she got into a near-fatal accident that had caused her to completely stop aging. For decades, she keeps her secret hidden from the world by moving place-to-place with her daughter and changing her identity. The Age of Adeline tells a fictional story of this beautiful, wise woman who lives a long, but wonderful life. She falls deeply in love twice and feels she must resist telling them her long-kept secret. The storyline is so well done that this was one of the rare movies that I truly found myself wanting more. Before I completely spoil this magnificent movie, I must highly recommend you to watch it yourself.
