Leave your thoughts about You Can Live Forever.
| Original-CinChris KnightOne can forgive the occasional stumble in such a powerful debut feature. |
| RogerEbert.comIsaac FeldbergA tender and compassionate debut feature by writer/directors Mark Slutsky and Sarah Watts, the latter of whom grew up gay in a Jehovah’s Witness community, You Can Live Forever lets the romantic tension between its protagonists build slowly and naturally, in stolen glances and small touches. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzFor all its aches and pains, the heart of You Can Live Forever doesn’t so much beat as skip, haltingly and disconcertingly, as it tries to keep its own lifeblood pumping. |
| TheWrapFran HoepfnerIt’s a promising feature with an original focus, handled with romantic dexterity and thoughtful wisdom. |
| The Irish TimesTara BradyRecent cinematic representations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, notably in Dea Kulumbegashvili’s Beginning, Richard Eyre’s The Children Act and Daniel Kokotajlo’s Apostasy, have not been kind to the Christian denomination. This compassionate story of puppy love – co-written and codirected by the former Witness Sarah Watts – shows more understanding towards the community, through conversations. |
| IndieWireJude DryThough the well-crafted film makes use of a unique regional setting for some moving moments, its straightforward approach to well-worn territory offers few surprises |
| The New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliYou Can Live Forever sticks to a fairly common coming-of-age trajectory. |
| User ReviewDunkaccinoThe epilogue of the film is too hesitant and vague while the rest of the film is neither of those things. We just need satisfaction, and for the film to inspire some feeling in us. You Can Live Forever doesn’t do enough of this. |
| User ReviewarostislavnaBasically a Jehovah's Witness copy of Disobedience, same blasphemy, same lesbian tragedy trope ending. |
