The Life of Chuck Reviews
indieWire
Katie Rife
Cynics will likely find Flanagan's latest far too saccharine for [their taste]. Viewers with a sweet tooth, meanwhile, may find themselves thoroughly charmed by "Chuck's" dorky earnestness.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
There aren't always answers, but that only makes Flanagan's film that much more of a crushing confrontation with oblivion. We can feel the weight of the world crashing down on us, but "The Life of Chuck" threads this all through the beauty of existence.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
This is one of the best ensembles of the year, filled in with appearances by many of Flanagan's past collaborators.
IGN Movies
A.A. Dowd
It's less an adaptation, ultimately, than a glorified book on tape from a talented King superfan.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A film that's as sweet as it is scary, and whose frights are the sort that come from all-too-relatable fears about being alone, being apart, and being unable to hold onto the people and memories that matter most.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
It's so endearingly sincere that only the hardest of cynics won't be won over by the uplifting, earnest depiction of the complex universes- of the multitudes- within each and every one of us.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Here, lacking in tonal connective tissue, The Life of Chuck may still leave in its wake the desired upbeat, life-hugging effect, but it ultimately proves to be an ephemeral one...
Screen Rex
Kyle Pinion
I judge it worthy of being among the good side of King on screen.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Louis Roberts
Starting out as a puzzling sci-fi thriller before touching on elements of horror and bildungsroman, this touchingly optimistic film is Mike Flanagan's best yet.
The Verge
Andrew Webster
The Life of Chuck indulges many of his worst tendencies, not only the lack of subtlety but also a penchant for lengthy monologues and schmaltz. Those elements can occasionally undermine his horror work, but they happen to suit The Life of Chuck perfectly.
Smash Cut Reviews
Karl Delossantos
A philosophical pondering of the moments that add up to a life set against the temporariness of it all. Airy, abstract but entertaining, it may be polarizing but will deeply move many.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Its darkness might be an obstacle to immediate commercial success, but its underlying warmth and poignancy could well be its secret weapon on the way to cult longevity.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
The twist that explains away this confounding world only ups the film's quality from awful to fine.
InSession Film
Alex Papaioannou
Despite being a film centered around the death of everything, the life-affirming core of The Life of Chuck might very well prove this to be Flanagan's masterpiece.
AwardsWatch
Alejandra Martinez
When The Life of Chuck captures that rare spark, it really resonates with all the multitudes within us.
Film Obsessive
Tina Kakadelis
The Life of Chuck is miraculous, a feather in Flanagan's already-decorated cap, and a dance worth saying yes to.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
The Life of Chuck is a perfect marriage of Mike Flanagan and Stephen King's talents, but not in the way you might expect.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A deeply moving film about the fleeting nature of life and the importance of embracing every moment. It's intimate, reflective, uplifting, poignant, and encourages viewers to consider their own lives and the people, places, and things they hold most dear.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
"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.
FandomWire
Sean Boelman
With The Life of Chuck, Mike Flanagan has created not only one of the finest films in his own repertoire but also one of the best entries in the canon of Stephen King adaptations.
