The Life List

I managed to start this movie with 0 knowledge of it. Hadnt seen a teaser. Hadnt seen a trailer. Hadnt seen who had made it - and yet I knew exactly who had made it.

Netflix made.

If you like the rom-coms Netflix tends to make, then this might just be what you're looking for.

Personally I enjoy comedy's and I like romantic movies. Even my fair share of rom-coms, but this movie was rough the first 30 minutes.

Predictable. Sugar-sweet writing. No emotions, even when attempted.

Just a watered down version of a quality movie.

BUT if you make it past the first 30 minutes, then it starts to open up. It gets a better flow. Its easier to swallow, and you get the feeling this might not be a total waste of time.

AGAIN - if you like the genre then you might like the movie.

If you dont enjoy the genre, then I suggest finding another movie.

6.2/10.

It was precisely a refreshing movie , something new, something unexpected(at least in the beginning).

I don't have much to say about the acting and the direction as I found it to be good, I am not completely moved by the characters but it was a good watching them unravel in their own essence.

The bond between the mother and the daughter stayed with me the most, the way a mother helps her daughter sort her life even after her death was a very good concept. The concept of CDs and the in the chase of inheritance the daughter ends up figuring out her whole life which was beautiful.

I found it to be very predictable , but anyone who watches this movie would surely enjoy the process of it. It makes you want to have a family like what Alexandra Caroline Rose had, I would say she was really lucky to have them by her side always and she also gradually figured out their importance in the movie.

I liked how the brother and sister bond was shown, how they actually communicated through their emotions and how it was shown that just because your brother doesn't say anything or acts indifferent is not because he dislikes you but he might have his own insecurities or envies.

I liked the character of Alexandra who was fearless, bold and yet coy and was proudly a mess.

Overall it's a good watch, one must definitely watch it to lighten up their mood. I watched it with my mom, you should watch it with your beloved ones too.

The Life List is a nice watch - warm, well-paced, and not overly dramatic. What stayed with me most is the message: pain and loss are part of life, but suffering is a choice. That idea isn't presented in a preachy way - it's just woven into the characters' decisions, especially as the main character starts reconnecting with what actually matters.

The portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship was especially well done. It shows how grief can create distance but also bring people back together, without sugarcoating the process.

It's the kind of movie that makes you pause - not because it's groundbreaking, but because it reminds you of things you already knew but maybe forgot. Like how helping others can also heal something in you.

A bucket (life) list with a twist , as being part of the terms of an inheritance.

Yes it's a predicatable love story, but if you like the genre, the journey is very pleasant .

The pace and acting is consistent throughout, it kept me entertained without peaks or troughs, a consistent quality of story telling.

If you likke films like 'Love Actually' or 'Notting Hill' then I suspect you will enjoy this for an evening's entertainment with a glass of wine.

Solid 7.5/10 and I could watch it again at a later date. A good old fashioned love story and finding oneself .

If you're looking for action, violence, sex and swearing, this is definitely not a film for you .

Made me smile, made me cry and everything in between. Absolutely lovely and touching, showing a story about growth and change, as well as family relationships and a touch of romance.

Not every movie has my full attention, but this one has gripped me from the start. I don't think even a part of it was remotely boring or uninteresting or unimportant for the overall story.

Even though the main point of the movie was Alex trying to complete her life list that she made when she was a teenager, it didn't feel childish whatsoever. They approached it from a mature perspective and showed what growth and change for Alex looked like.

A rare movie without any violence, any explicit content, just so pure and touching.

Everyone's performance in this movie was amazing, and especially Sofia's.

Definitely worth watching!
