People revisit The Age of Adaline for the same reason it broke through in 2015: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a fantasy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Lee Toland Krieger keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The romance and fantasy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
