My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

28 Up (1984)

The fourth film in the UP series follows its subjects from the previous films now at age 28.  I'm taking my time watching these because there's a lot of overlap.  Some day they could probably edit a single movie that captures every year.  If you aren't aware of this grand experiment of a social documentary, the Up Series filmed fourteen 7-year-olds in 1964 and revisits them every seven years.  So far the third film is my favorite but this one was quite good as well.  It's fascinating to witness how unpredictable life can be.  Grade: B+
