AroView: A fantasy-drama in three distinct parts that literally dances across the genres with likely something for everyone.
Best not to spoil the surprises, but the fact that the ‘Acts’ are told in reverse order is indeed the point of Stephen King’s existential, non-horror novella, preserved for maximum intrigue by director Mike Flanagan, who reunites with King after their collaboration on Doctor Sleep (2019). Chuck is played by Tom Hiddleston with some dazzle, through a life story filled with ecstatic and agonizing twists of fate.
“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.” ~Jason Gorber, 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.” ~Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
