Of an Age Reviews

Jan 22, 2025

Highlight of the film for me was seeing two hot "wog" guys shaggin' in the back of a HZ Holden Kingswood - that is pure Australian gold! The rest of the film was just as enjoyable, layering the various stories and themes with an authenticity and dialogue that many Australians will instantly recognise from the own adolescence (it did for me) For anyone who has experienced the joy and painful separation of a first love, this film may touch your soul with regrets and emotions that are forever attached to such powerful bittersweet memories. I enjoyed the way the Director used the confined space of the roadtrips to add intensity with the gorgeous facial close-ups - how can you not melt looking at Thom Green!

Gets off to an irritatingly chaotic start, after which it provides little queer joy

Not a very good movie in my opinion. Nevertheless I was impressed by Thom Green's engaging performance. The farewell scene at minute 70 is the highlight of the film.

Such a good movie. Cinematography was amazing, acting was spectacular and directed beautifully. I would recommend and I would watch again.

I thought quite a bit about Richard Linklater's BEFORE movies while watching this. Both portray relationships that initially bloom based on verbal communication. Both first encounters are plagued with a very limited period of time. And both give their protagonists the opportunity to meet again after a number of years. I also actually have pretty much the same impressions of their assets and liabilities. It is genuinely refreshing to see characters fall in love based upon their communication rather than their libido. That being said, the talk can get excessive at times, and the dialogue here doesn't quite have the wit of the BEFORE films, although I would argue it is probably more authentic and true to life. Both leads are appealing and create enough goodwill that we actually ache for them not once but twice in their limited time together. And on a superficial note, let me say that this is one of the best examples I've seen of characters aging realistically in a motion picture. Eleven years transpire between both sections, and you'd swear they made the halves a decade apart. It was so impressive - not just a few wrinkles and bags under the eyes.

Beautiful love story. Cleaver writing, great cast, definitely a film worth watching.

Moving and gets you right in the core! Great acting too

Outstanding cast (well done, casting director!), especially the two male leads who have spectacular chemistry. Totally on point was how devastatingly intense first gay love can be. A really beautiful, memorable film.

Impressed by the acting, the editing, the pace, the sceneries. Everything makes sense, everything hurts and is profound without ever coming across as preachy or artsy for the sake of it. Amazing gem of a movie

ALL WE HAVE IS NOW Of an Age is a 2022 Australian romantic drama film written and directed by Goran Stolevski 🕺 It's ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I'd recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 S A Serbian ballroom dancer experiences an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend's older brother.

A well acted indie gay sort-of-road film. Any references to literature, Borges, and Tori Amos is smarter than your average gay film.

Writer-director Goran Stolevski's directorial debut is a well put together and aching gay coming-of-age romance. Set mostly in 1999, Elias Anton's Kol, a young and unsure Serbian-born Australian amateur ballroom dancer meets Thom Green's older and more experienced Adam, the out brother of his dancing partner Hattie Hook's Ebony when they have to rescue her after she's stranded somewhere after a night out partying. Over the course of the next 24 hours, before Adam's imminent departure to Argentina for his Ph.D., the two develop an unexpected and intense romance which gives Kol the confidence to come to terms with who he is. Green and Anton are a watchable pair and have chemistry with each other even if Anton, who's only 24, playing a high-schooler sometimes looks older than the more babyfaced Green. Hazily shot in a suspended time and space as the two orbit each other amongst the suburban streets of Melbourne, this is a moody film, with a tastefully chosen soundtrack, that relishes in quoting Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together and is keener to build an intimate atmosphere than conjuring up plots or narratives.

I just love LGBTQ+ movies. It was a little slow at some points but the story was good.

Exceptional cast uplifts this story of love and longing

Como dói um amor n vivido. Estou devastada

Aug 5, 2023

Poignant, touching, and authentic. A heartbreaking love story that makes you shed a tear.

Jul 4, 2023

More of a coming of gay story than a coming of age story. It's interesting how the characters are developed with very little going on - but its pace slows to a crawl at times.

Jun 20, 2023

Funny, poignant and smart. Slow in a few places but really touching

Jun 16, 2023

This is a very simple drama about a couple of young Australian men who meet under a sort of weird emergency-for-a-teenager-but-not-for-anyone-else circumstances, feel an attraction, spend a brief time together, then meet up at a wedding 10 years later. Lots of talking, a very simple setup, and some quite emotional moments, all captured by some great low key actors.

Great coming of age, sort of love story. Beautiful
