Harrison Ford is one of the most legendary actors of all time. While many know him for his role as Han Solo in Star Wars, he’s starred in countless other classic films, including the Indiana Jones series and Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. He’s even joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe recently. Despite his long and successful career, a fantasy film of his just became available on Netflix – something relatively new for the actor.
You can now watch The Age of Adaline on Netflix. This 2015 romantic fantasy film stars Blake Lively as Adaline Bowman, a woman who mysteriously stops aging after an accident, remaining 29 years old. While the movie received mixed reviews and wasn’t a huge box office success, Harrison Ford’s performance was widely praised, with many critics considering it among his best work. The film also features Michiel Huisman, Kathy Baker, Amanda Crew, and Ellen Burstyn.
The Age of Adaline is a Forgotten Gem of Ford’s Career
Though Blake Lively is more known for her other work, The Age of Adaline features one of her strongest performances. She plays William Jones, the father of Adaline’s boyfriend, who decades earlier had been in love with Adaline himself and hoped to marry her. His emotional confrontation with her is what finally makes Adaline stop running from her past and ultimately changes her life’s direction.
Despite the fantastical story and the unusual premise of eternal youth, Harrison Ford’s performance feels genuinely human. He acts as the emotional center of the film, beautifully portraying a man grappling with past regrets as he reconnects with a lost love, and a father determined to protect his son from the same pain. His scenes with Blake Lively are particularly strong, and many critics have also praised her work. Ford delivers a rich, compassionate performance that ranks among his best, making The Age of Adaline a film any fan of his shouldn’t miss.
The Age of Adaline is now streaming on Netflix.
