It is the predictability of A Beautiful Life that makes it unmemorable and, at best, an average watch.

A Beautiful Mind is beyond clichéd—it’s borderline non-sensical.

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.

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]

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.

A cliched drama with all the ingenuity of a musical act manufactured by Simon Cowell for shopping malls and the VMAs.

I thought it was very emotional and such a good movie. I cried so much and it was one of the best sad movies with such a good ending.

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 ✌️

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.
