The Age of Adaline is a 2015 American romantic fantasy film directed by Lee Toland Krieger and written by J.

The film stars Blake Lively as Adaline, with Michiel Huisman, Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, Amanda Crew, and Ellen Burstyn.

It received mixed reviews from critics, though many praised both Lively's and Ford's performances, citing them as some of their best work in recent years.

Sixteen years pass, and in 1953, after a traffic violation, a police officer confiscates her ID and thinks it must be fake, as she is now forty-five but still appears twenty-nine.

Six decades later, in 2015, under the alias "Jennifer Larson," Adaline falls in love with philanthropist Ellis Jones.

His father, William, recognizes her instantly, but she claims Adaline was her mother, who died six years earlier.

William is shaken when he notices a scar on Adaline's hand, from a cut she sustained while she and he were hiking decades before.

The costume designer talked about the importance of the outfits worn by Lively's character Adaline as integral parts of her story, which takes place through several fashion eras.

[21] Anamorphic lenses and minimal use of steadicams were employed to provide greater authenticity for scenes set in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

The films Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire served as inspiration for the period color tone and saturation.

Danielle DePalma, executive vice president of digital marketing at Lionsgate, said, "We were very aware of Blake’s high-fashion profile when we crafted the campaign, and there was so much beautiful imagery from the film."

[26] The Age of Adaline earned $42,629,776 in North America and $23,033,500 in other countries, for a worldwide box office gross of $65.7 million.

The website's consensus reads: "The Age of Adaline ruminates on mortality less compellingly than similarly themed films, but is set apart by memorable performances from Blake Lively and Harrison Ford.
