The Age of Adaline (2015)
Lionsgate
The New Year is the perfect occasion for great time-travel movies as most people begin to reflect on their lives and futures. The Age of Adaline is a good pick for viewers looking for a romantic flick with a time travel twist, as it follows Adaline Bowman’s (Blake Lively) experiences through the decades without ever aging past her 29-year-old self. Disillusioned and relentlessly pursued by the authorities, Adaline’s love for life is only brought back by a chance encounter with the charming Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman).
Adaline’s journey is a touching reminder of what makes each moment of life special and worth living. New Year’s Eve is a significant time for her character, as she attends year-end parties feeling the weight of her immortality, up until one fateful evening. While the film admittedly sticks to the romance genre’s familiar tropes, it does a decent job of telling its fantastical story.
The Age of Adaline is streaming on Netflix and Max.

Tim immediately uses his newfound ability to change his life and even fall in love,
