The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared Reviews
Offers much in the way laughs, little in the way of insight, and is all the better for it.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 23, 2021
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared is a very long title for such a crazy story. The humour is hit-and-miss, so it may only appeal to fans of the original book.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 20, 2019
An irresistible and endearing adventure that is pure escapism, a rare type of cinema magic that is as transporting as it is captivating.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 7, 2019
Perhaps it was the disarming, cumulative effect of a combination of deadpan black comedy, witty dialogue and one ridiculous slapstick event after another. Go with it.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2019
Fans of Jonasson's source novel may find themselves a little underwhelmed here, but The Hundred-Year-Old Man is a gentle and amiable enough fantasy yarn.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2019
This film proves that the Swedes can really do funny and not just dark, dour and disturbing.
| Mar 4, 2019
With a talented cast and a script full of geezer hijinks, this film is a very funny, heartwarming, suspenseful, and above all else, an entertaining watch.

Fine. The movie looks and sounds great... But if we want our stories to glorify an angel of death as a hero, then we truly don't know what we're gonna get.

Swedish Forrest Gump + caper comedy has violence, language.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 2, 2018
Altogether it's pretty weird, a mishmash of ideas and atonal moments that is far less than the sum of its parts.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 21, 2018
If you're looking for a light-hearted, amusing take on the idiotic behaviour of mankind, this will suit you well.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2017
Surreal and very silly.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 10, 2016
The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared is gleefully amoral, never more so than when ruminating on how families are formed.
| Jan 2, 2016
It sets itself up as satire but then has nothing much to say.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 14, 2015
... (a) quirky, whimsical life-spanning comedy...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 10, 2015
There's a strange, almost perverse lesson here about a well-lived life, how Allan manages to move through life without regret or fear. He's crossed every item off his bucket list - and then blown up the bucket.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 26, 2015
It's never explained what Allan's mental state is, other than lovable geriatric rascal-itis, an irritating trope that hardly constitutes a certifiable condition.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 25, 2015
Superficially colorful, but a dark comedy at heart.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 23, 2015
While The 100-Year-Old-Man makes pit stops all over the world, it already feels a little too Hollywood.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 19, 2015
"The 100-Year-Old-Man" is wonderfully inventive, silly fun.
| Original Score: B+ | Jun 12, 2015
