The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Robert Everett-GreenDec 19, 2014

San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisOct 9, 2014
This eager-to-please documentary is short on story, but long on charm. That’s because the seven profile subjects embrace their age and celebrate their style as creative self-expression. Read full review

The A.V. ClubDavid EhrlichSep 25, 2014
Although Advanced Style is little more than a string of small profiles that broadly cohere into anti-ageist propaganda, it’s nevertheless a cogent reminder that people are so often defined by the things they need that it’s easy to dismiss the things that they don’t. Read full review
