How to Live Forever
Director Mark Wexler embarks on a worldwide trek to investigate just what it means to grow old and what it could mean to really live forever. But whose advice should he take? Does 94-year-old exercise guru Jack LaLanne have all the answers, or does Buster, a 101-year-old chain-smoking, beer-drinking marathoner? What about futurist Ray Kurzweil, a laughter yoga expert, or an elder porn star? Wexler explores the viewpoints of delightfully unusual characters alongside those of health, fitness and life-extension experts in this engaging new documentary, which challenges our notions of youth and aging with comic poignancy. Begun as a study in life-extension, How To Live Forever evolves into a thought-provoking examination of what truly gives life meaning.

On top of the physical challenges, this year the sport grew from 40 men and women, to over 100 of each.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

We Love Paleo is a very inspiring movie. It is one of the best documentary movies I have ever watched. The whole story is awesome. The start of the movie was nothing special but as time flew, the story got more and more exciting. Not many documentary movies are present nowadays that is good from every aspect. Every moment was entertaining so We Love Paleo gets a solid 10 from me.

I am not A big fan of doc movies. But my friends wanted to watch the movie so I gave it a chance and I really became a big fan. It's a proper documentary. If you like health films, I recommend you to check out this movie. Very insightful on the paleo diet and great science to support it all.

I've watched a ton of food documentaries, big fan. Sometimes they can be fascinating but more often than not they're typical formulaic meh. We Love Paleo falls head first into that latter category. In essence it's one and a half hours of talking heads, just a handful mind you, them praising how the paleolithic diet has transformed their lives for the better. Inter-cut those with a graphic of some stat or quote. Oh and throw in some everyday footage (shot with a potato in this case) to establish perspective. Maybe a before and after shot. Give me a break.For the majority of the film you could easy replace Paleo with Keto or it's big sister the Atkins diet that reintroduced people to fats in food again and to be mindful of what spikes our glucose levels. The film doesn't cross any new ground, doesn't mention other competing diets and in fact doesn't take you anywhere. No real insights or dramas or revelations. No negatives of the diet are mentioned (which i guess is in line with the We Heart Paleo title). Humor is non-existent. It's like a really long drawn out propaganda piece for Paleo fans by Paleo fans and really quite dull. The documentary only really picks up when more random talking heads and fast paced music kick off but this is over the end credits and you you'll be glad it's over.Waste of time. You'll find out more information, quicker and unbiased by surfing the net and reading a handful of paleo blogs, the good and the bad then - check out various LCHF diets like Dukan, ITG even South Beach and then - create your own low carb dietary plan because we're not all the same.BUT if you MUST watch a Paleo documentary film then maybe try In Search of the Perfect Human Diet (2012) and avoid this schlock.

OK so I may be slightly biased as I am one of the featured people in the film but I attended the preview on Monday which was the first time I have seen any of the shot footage and I was really very impressed with the finished product.I have to say the film has been shot and put together brilliantly and is a real credit to the dedication and time the team have put in. It's very informative with some great stories and inspiration for those looking to start following a Paleo Diet, those already doing so or anyone looking for interesting information on healthy eating and lifestyle choices.Featuring some of the industries leading experts and people who have changed their lives for the better there is something for everyone and a real balance of experience and knowledge.Well done guys, here is to the success of the project, it has been a pleasure being part of it and getting to know you all.
