    A documentary that’s loose, unfocused, and utterly charming--much like its subjects.

    [An] earnest, lightweight documentary about vitality. [2/9 Jun 2017, p.96]

    The film would have been better if it had gone further into this [Is it possible to enjoy vital life even with health problems?] and some other areas, like health care costs for noncelebrities, but at least it starts the conversation. It provides delightful evidence that there is plenty of life yet in the population born before the Great Depression.
