A woman (Blake Lively) who ceases to age is at the center of the serious fantasy romance, The Age of Adeline (2015), which is not without sentimentality and phony melodrama.  It was made in such a way as to impress on our minds a contemporary world essentially no different from the early 20th century, when the woman’s miracle occurred.  Very little here, however, keeps the film from being a regrettable waste of time.
