Of an Age Reviews
Though the ending of Of an Age is dismayingly abrupt, much of what’s come before is sweet and erotic and wise about the fits-and-starts process of coming out -- chiefly to oneself.

...the male performances are of the first order and the screenplay is sensitive and intelligent — you hope that Stolevski will go on to make even better movies in the future.

Of An Age is a queer Australian romantic drama brimming with tenderness and enchantment.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 24, 2023
It’s a tribute to the persuasiveness of both actors that they do more than survive the intensity of the camera’s scrutiny.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2023
A memorable blast of humanity and nostalgia...

A profoundly moving film about the beauty and the horror of what it means to be seen for the first time, to love for the first time, and how the past and future are constantly informing each other.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 19, 2023
The Australian production is a warm-hearted gem, pulsating with lustful tenderness (and tender lust) as it sketches what first love can feel like, and asking whether it can ever endure.

While “Of an Age” offers plenty of moody, melancholy atmosphere, it lacks the kind of characterization that would make this story truly devastating.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2023
Anton and Green are outstanding, and their chemistry is infectious.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 18, 2023
Stolevski holds our attention with small moments he makes feel huge. This is just confirmation that the You Won't Be Alone filmmaker is a major talent to keep an eye on.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2023
The magic of Of an Age reveals itself in the natural rhythms of Stolevski's storytelling, and the unhurried nature of his script.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 16, 2023
A remarkable double performance on an emotional level, delivered in two otherwise slender chapters.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 16, 2023
It helps that the two actors glow in each others’ presence, turning up the heat onscreen.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 16, 2023
The ambivalence with which the film treats its main character’s revelation proves rich with complication and offers a new intervention into a genre we thought we’d fully internalized.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 16, 2023
On its own, it’s a nicely drawn vignette, tapping a palpable sense of desire between the two leads.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2023
Do we really need another tragic period gay love story? How about yes, but do it better.
| Feb 16, 2023
There’s more here than longing, with Stolevski making a U-turn late in the film, and taking us to a staggeringly beautiful and heartbreaking destination.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023
Indie Australian director/writer Goran Stolevski's remarkable and moving chronicle of a love encumbered by time, place and circumstance..."Of An Age" is one of the best films of this young year so far.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2023
The film delicately embraces grand sentiments without ever being sentimental. And throughout the journey, we can’t help but be enthralled.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2023
The specificity of Of an Age’s subject matter, combined with its stale handling of said material, only lets the film serve as a reminder of better works that came before it.
