Village Voice by Amy Taubin

The 7Up series is thus one of the rare documentaries to have had a positive practical effect on the life of at least one of its subjects.

88

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach

Offers a welcome continuation of what has proven a fascinating journey both for the film's 11 subjects (three of the 14 opted out of the project this go-round) and its audience.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

The latest installment is packed with surprises and emotion for people who've seen earlier stages of the project, but even newcomers will be fascinated by the vivid glimpses it provides of everything from love and family to political action and the pervasiveness of class distinctions in British life.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

The latest episode of this ongoing masterpiece of reality TV -- which every seven years revisits a group of English people first interviewed as 7-year-olds in 1964 -- is every bit as enthralling as the earlier ones.

Time by Richard Corliss

Apted...has the storytelling skills to weave a powerful and poignant snapshot of some decent folks who have become, collectively, Britain's first family.
