Their largely negative or only superficially positive responses make me feel guilty about finding the series so fascinating -- and should make the filmmakers feel even guiltier.

On some level, 42 Up is a startling home-movie time capsule. Simply to behold the aging process with such intimacy is enough to give you a shudder.

One of the best movie series ever is a true-life drama like no other. Miss it at your peril.

42 Up is a delightful and moving look at humanity through the singular stories of this captivating group.
