Reviews
- "It’s not only his best film yet, but it’s the work he’s been building up to over his entire career."
- TheWrap - "This is one of the best ensembles of the year, filled in with appearances by many of Flanagan’s past collaborators."
- RogerEbert.com - "Dancing between the ruminative and the revelatory, it never succumbs to being maudlin or cloying. THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a modern fable told with the deftness of a fairy tale, with the sheer exuberance of a musical while exuding the same sense of wonder one gets staring up at the heavens."
- Collider - "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."
- The Daily Beast - "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."
- Bloody Disgusting - "THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a perfect marriage of Mike Flanagan and Stephen King's talents, but not in the way you might expect."
- Mashable - "THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a near-faithful cinematic adaptation which aims at giving us the warm fuzzies-in-this-dark-and-dismal-world, and succeeds, more or less."
- The Indian Express - "THE LIFE OF CHUCK is not so much about raging at the dying of the light but about how we embrace the inevitability of death and the wonder of what comes before."
