The Life of Chuck isn’t a movie with answers, but it’s a movie with compassion and understanding, which we can definitely use.

Variety

“Would answers make a good thing better?” [The film] ends up proving its point in all the wrong ways, swerving in and out of a boorish literalism that robs the film of its most euphoric power.

The Life of Chuck is a perfect marriage of Mike Flanagan and Stephen King's talents, but not in the way you might expect.

A beautiful and deeply moving film that is filled to the brim with an insanely talented cast delivering some of the best performances of their lives. The Life Of Chuck is destined to go down in history as one of the greats.

Movie Madness Podcast

A beautiful, life-affirming journey where Mike Flanagan helps turn Stephen King into Frank Capra. A fantastic adaptation that over time should have fans putting this in the same category as Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption.

Rated: 3.5/4
