Rating: 3/4 --
It's a delight to see William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini given an age-appropriate showcase that doesn't involve heavy artillery.

Late Bloomers has its moments but mostly feels like an uncomfortable romp into old age.

Rating: B- --
Late Bloomers is at its best when it's being breezy and simply taking pleasure in its lead actors, who turn in strong performances in spite of certain clunky character developments.
AV Club
Ultimately, it's not distinctive enough to draw viewers who haven't given much thought to aging. But that still leaves a substantial audience for the film's gentle laughs and modest insights.

I'm not sure the social prejudices Gavras tries to mine for laughs here quite exist anymore.

Product Description:
An aging couple clash in the way they respond to the realization that their golden years are just around the corner in this romantic comedy about the joys and challenges of growing old together. Adam (William Hurt) and Mary (Isabella Rossellini) have been married for decades. They've both got rewarding careers, a supportive circle of friends, and gorgeous grandchildren. Living a rich and active life has kept them both young at heart, so upon realizing they will soon become senior citizens, Adam goes into full denial while Mary embraces her maternal instincts. But the harder Adam clings to his youth, the faster it seems to slip away. Meanwhile, Mary's plan to prepare for the inevitable begins raising serious concerns among her friends and family.
