As this somewhat overlong film continues on, it becomes increasingly shapeless, finally succumbing to the sort of soupy sentimentality it’s trying to critique.

Rated: C

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

The philosophical window dressing — would you rather your loved one live a better life if it meant living without you? — doesn’t play to Vigalondo’s strengths.

If anything, Daniela Forever feels overly familiar.

The film emerges as a refreshing antidote to the blockbuster doldrums. Writer-director Nacho Vigalondo’s DANIELA FOREVER presents a profoundly human story through Henry Golding’s captivating performance on the big screen.

Rated: B+

Cinemalogue

This offbeat science-fiction romance features an intriguing concept that yields plenty of questions, moral and otherwise, while leaving too many of them unanswered.

Daniela Forever wastes an excellent Henry Golding performance by collapsing under the weight of its own ambitions.
