Trailer
Rating: C
Commentary: A generic, unexciting trailer that isn’t likely to appeal to anyone other than those already familiar with the franchise. 		Rating: A
Commentary: The entire concept of the documentary series is quite fascinating. Starting at 7 and filming these kids every seven years is an interesting idea and the trailer capitalizes on that concept nicely.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: Strangely, the series has never been Oscar nominated. However, I can imagine this might finally be the time…especially after eight entries and plenty of praise.

    Right before 49UP came out I watched all previous installments. It’s a terrific series.

    Under your commentary for the 56UP poster, I think you meant to say “poster” instead of “trailer”.
