Janet Maslin

RTNew York TimesMay 21, 2005

The effect of 28 Up is to bring a dimension of wisdom and insight to the earlier footage, and in doing this Mr. Apted has been subtle and selective.

The 14 subjects of the "Up" series came together as a group only twice, and by the end of 28 Up, three have dropped out of the project.

It is almost scary to realize that this film has given me a fair chance of predicting what lies ahead for these strangers. I almost understand the motives of those who chose to drop out of the experiment.

A real mind-bender. Apted invented a new documentary form with this series.
