Some praise for the film…
“THE AGE OF LOVE shows us that love is ageless. It’s a great film for older audiences as well as for college students studying relationships and for professionals working with older populations. Too often films ignore the full humanity of older men and women and forget that they can be husbands, wives and lovers. The Age of Love is a wonderful corrective to all those films that deny seniors the full range of who they are and who they can be.” Dr. Pepper Schwartz, AARP LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP AMBASSADOR
“Steven Loring does a fantastic job in taking you deep into a world that – for many of us – may never have even crossed our minds… No matter what your age, THE AGE OF LOVE is one film your will want to experience, as it shares a real story full of emotion and that will assure you, with each passing year, the longing for love and the touch of someone near never goes away.” Kathy Kaiser, WE ARE MOVIE GEEKS
“Paints a rich portrait of what it’s like to age and still harbor a sense
“The film works so well because of the sense that Loring is determined to treat his subjects with the dignity they deserve. Contrary to what society constantly seems to tell us, growing older doesn’t mean that we cease to have the same desires as anyone else, and it’s heartening to see THE AGE OF LOVE take those desires seriously.” Adam Lubitow, THE ROCHESTER CITY NEWSPAPER
