2/5
"Let it go, Michael. Your subjects are obviously ready to do the same."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

85/100
"42 Up is not only riveting viewing, it is an important social document that allows an ageing group of Boomers to remind us – as Yogi Berra noted – not only is 90 per cent of this Game of Life ‘half mental,’ but it it ain’t over ‘til it’s over."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

3/4
"Two subjects acknowledge their conjoined lifeline, become best friends, and as a result a life is forever changed."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

"Convinces us that the journey of every human being is eminently edifying and compelling. "  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"There's something incredibly simple yet profound about what Apted has done with this series. It's an amazing achievement - not only is it a sociological masterpiece, but it's a fine example of how real-life drama can often be more compelling than fiction."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli
