The Guardian
The elements of silliness and deadly seriousness are nicely balanced and although I wasn’t absolutely sure about the ending, which has maybe too neat a bow tied on it, this is just very enjoyable and I was on the edge of my seat, not knowing whether to flinch or laugh, though I did both. - 70
Slashfilm
For all of Old‘s flaws – and those flaws are bounteous! – it’s a film with energy; a film with life. Shyamalan doesn’t appear to have a firm grasp on this material, but again, he’s trying! He’s trying to give us something different. And these days, that’s the sort of thing we should all be longing for. - 70
IGN
Old isn't M. Night Shyamalan’s best work, but it is one that shows maturity – a movie that tackles universal and intense themes over twists and puzzles. - 67
The Playlist
Old is so playful that even the finale has an extra nature to it; it gives you way more than you thought you were going to get 90 minutes previous. - 60
Screen Rant
While Old is certainly a different kind of thriller, with plenty of elements that work to create a sense of tranquility and desperation in equal measure, it grows wearisome as it evades its deeper themes for the thrill of that final discovery. - 58
IndieWire
By the time “Old” is over, the strongest feeling it leaves us with is that it just got 108 minutes shorter. - 50
Movie Nation
The most laughably ludicrous and clumsy “explainer” of a third act that Shyamalan has ever served up. - 50
Consequence
Old, for its part, is quintessential Shyamalan of The Happening mold, a slick, amped-up B movie that hardly ever gives away that it’s in on the joke.
