Where to Watch Being Human
- DonkeyFlixJanuary 1, 2026An ambitious, soulful film that follows one man’s spirit through five different lives across history. You can feel the brilliance of writer-director Bill Forsyth fighting against the studio’s meddling with the narration, which turns thoughtful moments into Hallmark platitudes. Still, Robin Williams gives a moving performance, and even with its flaws, the film lingers in your mind long after it’s over.
