This one hits differently. It’s the first time the project truly grapples with mortality, marking the passing of Nick and the final chapter for director Michael Apted. Watching the 7-year-old faces flicker behind the 63-year-olds is a profound, haunting reminder of how quickly the clock runs. I'm so glad they're continuing the series; with 70 Up expected this May, it feels less like an ending and more like a necessary passing of the torch.
