OldTheMovie lives up to its title by getting old even faster than its characters do
held some promise for me when I heard the premise: a group of strangers who age rapidly in the course of one day on a deserted stretch of beach. Unfortunately, in execution, Shyamalan’s screenplay, based on the graphic novelTwilight Zone. even faster than its characters do.
The main story is wrapped around a family arriving at a ritzy beach resort for a vacation before they tell the kids they have decided to separate. Gael Garcia Bernal plays the dad, Guy, and Vicki Krieps is his wife, Prisca. We are introduced as well to their very young kids, Maddox and Trent .
In no time weirder stuff happens, and is particularly noticeable when the kids leap into their teen years, with Alex Wolff taking on Trent’s role, and Thomasin McKenzie portraying the ever-growing Maddox. Prisca has a medical emergency that Charles solves when he cuts her open and removes a huge tumor. Simple, right? But oh my, what has been going on with hormonally charged Trent and Kara, who found love and now she is knocked up? She soon delivers the baby who can’t survive in this situation.
Some of this is so dumb I just can’t even deal. For some reason Charles, in between tumor surgeries and baby deliveries, keeps asking the question about which movie starred Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. Around the third time he blurts this out, I started to shout the answerjust to put him out of his misery. Patricia also keeps trying to get the group, increasingly frightened and concerned about what is happening to them, to gather and sort out their thoughts on it all.
