The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020)
Cult classic status!
I don't know where to start with this movie. I loved it so so much that I've watched it twice now, back to back. I told my husband, my 26 year old son (he raps and makes beats so I know he will appreciate it), a few friends and a cousin about it and insisted that they too watch this wonderful film. By the way, this is a film, not a move, a film. I never really paid enough attention to recognize the difference, but seeing this film, helped to clarify the difference for me.
I related to Rhada on a level like no other. I'm a forty eight year old black woman, who's been married for 26 years and have five children. I'm going through some things...kids getting older, marriage breaking down, and me coming into myself. This movie though, it changed me, and with a quickness. Today my husband said "you're carrying yourself differently", my kids kept starring at me and I'm sure wondering what's up with mom. Nothing my dear loves, mommy just feels like she's got this ageing thing, this life thing. Because after having watched this film, I feel like I do! I loved EVERYTHING about it. The acting, the chemistry and the flow gave it a vibe that most movies these days are missing.
Rahada if you read this review, gurl, you knocked it out the park! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, you changed how I see myself and my future. Also thanks a lot, now I'm looking at the younger brotha's like hmmmmm, LOL.
I really do thank you for creating this film, it has truly been a blessing, and came to me at the right time. Like a previous reviewer stated, that they feel like a better human being today for having seen this film, well so do I and we owe that to you and your fabulous cast. xoxox to you all!
In closing, do yourself a favor, and watch this delightful, uplifting and life changing FILM, you will be a better human being for it!
