Defending Your Life Ratings & Reviews
- cultfilmliker19 januari 2026Not my thing. Terrible movie logic, terrible advice for life, terribly mundane! Eternity seems like a less novel idea now bc of this but boy am I yearning for the days of that level of competency. Like…seriously. What ARE the parameters for these “arguments” in this “not trial” ??
- Peter Venkman27 augustus 2025Love Brooks, has so many great moments, kinda meanders in the 3rd act and goes nowhere. Loses a full star for Streep.
