    Suffice it to say, life's too short for such self-indulgent glibness.

    Mr. Wexler has found interesting people and useful, funny and sometimes crackpot-seeming information.

    Los Angeles Times Robert Abele

    The cheeky title How to Live Forever belongs to a wry, hopeful yet enigma-appreciating documentary about the perils and possibilities that come with growing old.

    The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

    How To Live Forever is less about how to delay or defeat death than a film about what gives life meaning.

    If someone could give you a pill that allowed you to live for 500 years, would you take it? Not me.

How To Live Forever by lizartist58
This was an insightful thoughtful treatment on the issue of living to a ripe old age. Many types of elderly folks were interviewed--some in nursing homes, some still on the job at age 94! In the end, it's ATTITUDE about who you are & how you regard your life that makes a bigger difference than what you eat/drink or how much you exercise. Basically, being engaged in your life counts for a lot! The director was on hand for a Q&A session after the film, which was enjoyable. Highly recommended. I saw it with my teenager, who also enjoyed it.

Funny, insightful. The director's personal appearances in the film enhance the story, taking you on a journey to look at aging in a fun, inspiring and loving way.
