Movie Review: 49 Up (2005)

Title: 49 Up Release Date: September 15, 2005 Director: Michael Apted Production Company: Granada Television Summary/Review: Reality television, that is ordinary people who are not professional actors are seen in purportedly unscripted programs, has existed for as long as there has been television (for example, Candid Camera debuted in 1948). When Seven Up debuted in 1964 with 14 seven-year-old…

Movie Review: 35 Up (1991)

Title: 35 Up Release Date:August 29, 1991 Director: Michael Apted Production Company: Granada Television Summary/Review: It feels natural to refer to the participants in The Up Series as children, but 35 Up is the point where there are more films showing them as adults than as children.  In fact, they are settling into adulthood with children, new homes, settled career paths, and the passing of…

Movie Review: 28 Up (1984)

Title: 28 Up Release Date: 20 November 1984 Director: Michael Apted Production Company: Granada Television Summary/Review: 28 Up is the movie that Roger Ebert put on his ten favorite movies list. I’ve kind of dodged the issue by putting the entire series as one entry into my personal top ten, but 28 Up is definitely a landmark of the series.  All the participants have come into their own as…

Movie Review: 21 Up (1977)

Title: 21 Up Release Date: 9 May 1977 Director: Michael Apted Production Company: Granada Television Summary/Review: There are a lot of firsts for the Up Series in 21 Up.  For the first time, each of the subjects will get a discrete portion of the documentary instead of everyone being mixed up.  There are also more probing questions with time allowed for in-depth responses as is suitable for the…

Movie Review: 7 Plus Seven (1970)

Title:  7 Plus Seven Release Date: 15 December 1970 Director: Michael Apted Production Company: Granada Television Summary/Review: I’ve kind of accepted that 7 Plus Seven is the Ugly Duckling of The Up Series. Michael Apted takes over the directorial reigns, but doesn’t seem quite ready to connect with teenagers while asking them questions.  To be honest, it’s a fool’s errand since 14 is an age…

Movie Review: Seven Up!(1964)

Today I turn 49 years old.  Since that is an age divisible by seven, I’ve decided to revisit The Up Series, the great documentary series from the UK that checks in with a group of people every seven years starting back with this TV special in 1964. I first discovered this series back in 2005 when I checked out the box set from the library.  Susan and I binged all the movies in less than a week…
