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.

Mashable

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

The Mary Sue

It is hard to adapt a Stephen King story and make it something “new” or different but what Flanagan did with The Life of Chuck is nothing short of extraordinary.

Rated: 5/5

Common Sense Media

This is the kind of storytelling that quietly tugs at your heartstrings, making you want to cry, until you realize there's no need. You're basking in the beauty of a perfectly told story.

Rated: 5/5
