56 Up

What it is:

• It's a film based on The Up Series which is interviews with the same group of people when they were 7, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 years old.  The series played in the UK so these people are kind of celebrities there.  

What I liked:

• It fascinating to see how a person's life has changed from when they were 7 years old.  It's also interesting to see how many of them went off to University, got married, got divorced, had kids, and got their dream jobs.

What I didn't like:

• The film doesn't fully explain what this is or why they did it.  It may be common knowledge to those who live in the United Kingdom but it is not common knowledge in America.
• It's way too long at 144 minutes.
