Leave your thoughts about Life Itself.
| Black Girl NerdsJamie BroadnaxYou may want to keep some tissues on hand while watching Life Itself. The tears will flow and there's no way to stop them. |
| VarietyJessica KiangIt is sentimental and sprawling, which are not necessarily bad things, but also manipulative and contrived, which very much are. |
| San Antonio Current Kiko MartinezWallowing in a cinematic abyss of tragedy, pain and victimization is better suited for fans of the Saw franchise. |
| The PlaylistGregory EllwoodFogelman clearly gets a thrill in constructing a tapestry full of one random tragedy after another (seriously, almost nothing good seems to happen to these people long term). And he also appears to love manipulating the audience’s emotions with these subsequent tragedies. |
| Us WeeklyMara ReinsteinAn overwrought tearjerker that shoves trite life lessons down your throat along with a vat of sugar. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA vapid exercise in narrative kitsch that spans two languages and multiple decades and love stories. |
| Paste MagazineWill LeitchThe movie is a shameless, relentless wreck. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA pretentious, sappy drama of interlinking stories [that] will have its intended tear-jerking effect only on viewers who remain convinced that Forrest Gump's observation about chocolates is an earth-shaking profundity. |
| TheWrapMatt DonnellyTo describe its plot in detail is to betray the game of the film, but suffice it to say that the sum of its parts are exhilarating. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondThis isn't easy stuff to pull off, but Fogelman succeeds in luring us in and keeping us genuinely involved with all these character. |
