Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Although not exactly antiquated, there’s something a bit rigid about The Life Apart begging to be loosened up a bit, lacking a certain passion from its musical prodigy who can consort with the dead and conquer her banal adversaries. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest In a film where the whims of life can be cruel, the ability to have such a strong handle on it becomes beautiful to witness both off screen and increasingly on it.
