ellis’s review published on Letterboxd:
m night’s yi yi (2000), the themes of growing old, age and the concept of experiencing all the major moments in life in a short time are all here except the characters are experiencing it, not the audience. it’s all put into a freaky thriller/horror picture which is wild , bold and surprisingly tender until the very end. m night shows once again his absolute imagination behind the camera more than he ever has in his recent films. very weird film and i don’t know how general audiences will take to this but “old” is a film that never ran out of steam to me.
