Young at Heart Reviews
Young@Heart's vocals are playful, but essential. Even the youngest of spectators are impressed by the liberating flamboyance of the chorus.

An entertaining and frequently moving documentary.

This is one of those films the phrase "feel-good" was invented for.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 17, 2019
Their music is not brilliant, but it is accomplished and soulful, head and shoulders above the usual output of senior citizen groups.

It's not hard to figure out why this movie has triumphed at film festivals.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 4, 2011
This film shows the triumph of the human spirit and the strength of will.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2009
Despite the director's smarmy narration and interviews, the bemused equanimity of these folks who've seen it all could inspire each of us to what "we can can" do as we age.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 7, 2008
If it...verges on being just slightly patronising at times, that's a quarrel with the filmmakers, not its participants.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 24, 2008
It's a pity that director Stephen Walker, who also narrates, imposes so much of himself on the material, asking at times the most insensitive questions.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 17, 2008
Develops into a poignant reflection on community, mortality and how we all need to stop and smell the roses. Recommended.

Funny, touching and life-affirming.

As an interviewer Walker is habitually condescending and sometimes downright inane...
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 17, 2008
The wonderful members of the choir, truly young at heart, overcome the occasional clumsiness of the filmmaker and you come away from this film feeling genuinely uplifted.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 17, 2008
The devil may have all the best tunes, but it's the elderly who nail them. Charming, heartwarming and totally kick-ass, you'll never look at your grandparents in the same way.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2008
Moments of high comedy and deep tragedy make this more than the average rehearsal and concert film.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2008
That might be because the film has already been shown on the BBC - a fact that, along with the unprepossessing production values, rather begs the question of why bother with a cinematic release at all?
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2008
A lovely little film.
