Then, take a look at the media commentary from North America:
【Negative Comments】
"This film needs the liveliness of Amy Adams, or the nervousness of Sandra Bullock, in short, a really living protagonist." （Wesley Morris, Grantland）
"Everything about the film seems a bit too much: the plot direction is too neat, and Lively doesn't seem to be relaxed—her performance is restrained and somewhat pretentious, as if she herself feels slightly embarrassed by these plots when she is acting." （Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice）
"Lovers at the End of Time is actually a modern fairy tale love story that takes place in San Francisco, ruined by poor narration and a completely unnecessary over-interpretation of the 'miracle' that happened to the heroine by chance." （Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice）
"The film has a fatal weakness: the slow-hot love story does not hold up a story framework for the whole film, so the whole film feels fragmented and disconnected. Some good, even first-class scenes can only find the support of the plot line. ”（Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture）
"For a film where the heroine is '106 years old but has a 29-year-old body', it does not show the wisdom that matches the age." （Adam Graham, Detroit News）
"Many times, the heroine Adailing's life experience is shown by her bags, skirts and coats that line up." (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times)
"The film fails to show any of the answers to the fascinating questions it asks, but instead plunges headlong into the field of love that Nicholas Sparks, the director of 'The Notebook of Love', is good at, and begins to explore the romance of the heroine." （Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer）
"Please, who's going to make a decent movie with such a great subject matter?" （Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle）
"Blackleafley had one of the best performances, but the film is clearly more concerned about what the heroine is wearing than what's in her head." （Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle）
【Positive Comments】
"Blackleafley's subtle, subtle and expressive performance sets the tone for this super-ridiculous yet truly entertaining film." （Justin Chang, Variety）
"There's something strange about Lefferly's screen presentation: somehow she looks both warm and cold, approachable and seemingly repulsive thousands of miles away. Her acting skills have matured enough to play this breakthrough main role, and her relaxed performance is full of surprises. (Jon Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter)
"Adaline is so beautiful and charming all the time, and her story tells people that no matter how complicated, painful, or short-lived love is, it is much better than immortality and immortality." （Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly）
"Until the end, you finally believe that Liveley is an old soul living in a young shell with a heavy secret, and you will hope that love will eventually give her a good ending." 」 （Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times）
"Well, I admit, the plot of this film is really nonsense. But "Lovers at the End of Time" is not a documentary. This film, as itself, is really very charming. (John Anderson, Wall Street Journal)
