Drama The Life of Chuck - Mike Flanagan Adapts King Again

[Sawyer]

It’s really sad to see how little attention this film got. Maybe with streaming now, but after winning at TiFF there was real momentum that this could’ve been a Best Picture contender and I feel that’s all lost now.

They really should’ve released this over the Christmas season.

Flanagan is kind of the modern equivalent to Darabont when it comes to King, so it could end up being a Shawshank situation in the long run, picking up steam post-release. May or may not amount to any awards love, but we’ll see.

Aaaaaand, I think I’m just about done with Variety.



The Sinners snubs on the “Best of” lists were one thing, but who the hell watched this and thought it even remotely qualified as worst of the year?

It could very much be my favourite of the year. It's a toss between this and Frankesntein.

Imagine having both Life of Chuck and Presence on your bottom 5 of the year in a year with Minecraft, Snow White, M3Gan, Hurry Up Tomorrow, etc...

The Life of Chuck should be nowhere near the bottom of any 2025 film list.

I found the narrative structure of this movie to be dramatically inert, but it's nowhere near being the worst film of the year. Hell, it's not even the worst Stephen King adaptation of 2025 (that would be The Running Man).

 

[Snow Queen]

For my money, the dance scene is one of my favourite things I've seen in theaters this year. I feel like there's a little wobbliness throughout the film but Flanagan's brand of sentimentality is right up my alley and that scene alone makes any problems easy to forgive for me.

The Life of Chuck would probably make my top5 of the year. I really enjoyed it.
