What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Subjects Bill Andrews and Aubrey de Grey are colorful in quite different but complementary ways.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen
The age-old search for the fountain of youth is engagingly appraised in The Immortalists, a lively documentary focusing on a pair of very different biomedical scientists who are equally obsessed with eradicating the ravages of time.
Village Voice by Michelle Orange
Directors Jason Sussberg and David Alvarado present a study of two eccentrics without pushing too hard against their premise.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
This sly documentary rises above its speculative hook by shifting to show the very human, and very mortal, sides of these would-be warriors of eternity.
