Anna Menta Decider A Beautiful Mind is beyond clichéd—it’s borderline non-sensical. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz All I'm gonna say about A Beautiful Life, is if you like the yearning nonsense that passes for "a ballad" on the trailer, then this film is exactly what you deserve. Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Despite some small setbacks, A Wonderful Life captures the essence of dreams and the struggle to realize them while providing us with an unforgettable soundtrack that becomes a fundamental pillar of the story. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media A Beautiful Life is a small cut above many of the romances Netflix has churned out in recent years. Its dramatic points are a little edgier and a little less predictable, and the romance is more mature. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express A cliched drama with all the ingenuity of a musical act manufactured by Simon Cowell for shopping malls and the VMAs. Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Amanda Guarragi Ready Steady Cut Elliott has a wonderful voice and the dedication to his craft is inspiring. His soul comes through the songs he sings and it’s an enjoyable movie because of it. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Christian B Ich finde der Film erzählt eine schöne Geschichte! Er nutzt dabei zwar die bereits oft erzählte Cinderella Version, doch die familiären Konflikte und tiefen Schmerzen in den einzelnen Charakteren, lassen einen mitfühlen und erneut durchleben. Der Sänger Christopher ist echt gut und schauspielerisch ist da sicher noch potenzial, doch der Cast harmoniert gut. Ich hatte schöne, unterhaltsame und auch nachdenkliche 96 Minuten. Gern mehr davon. Lebt lang und in Frieden ✌️ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Daryl D "A song doesn't exist. It comes to life. Between two people. One who sings and one who listens" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Jon B I didn't know much about this film but gave it a shot - I was pleasantly pleased. I enjoyed the drama, romance and music. Not a fabulous film, but I certainly didn't feel like I wasted my time. Acting was decent, but the music is well done and is the real star. Check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Charlene N Great film and the music was amazing!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Esmarie C Beautiful story and music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review SkyRo P The movie served its purpose in passing the time, but it lacked the excitement to warrant a repeat viewing. Despite some challenges with the dubbing, I managed to make it through the film. The music, while humorous, failed to leave a lasting impression, and the plot felt rushed, with a heavy push in the beginning. As the story progressed, the third act fell flat, lacking the anticipated thrill. It seemed to rely on forced emotions to reignite interest, but ultimately failed to deliver a compelling conclusion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
