Life Itself (2018)
7/10
Weird and beautiful at the same time?
10 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Read after watching.

Okay, I really liked some parts of the movie. The movie really does have a lot of layers. Some of them are beautiful, heart-warming, and really make you cry. I liked the parts when Will is talking about Abby to his psychiatrist, and when Samuel L. Jackson is a narrative, when the Spanish couple falls in love, etc, let's say those parts were well made.

So actually, the movie really started promising! And I liked the chapters idea, and how diverse they were. Especially the whole chapter in Spain was beautiful, and honestly probably my favourite. HOWEVER, once we are getting closer to the end, the worst movie becomes... Dylan's and Rodrigo's daughter telling their story, was somehow cheesy and as if I was watching a blogger trying to be inspirational. In my opinion, the last scene looks like a bad Shutterstock images from a motivational speaker video!! The end is just disappointing.

Why I still think it's worth watching - Because whenever I keep thinking about a movie after watching it, it is somehow an indicator that it did leave an impression. So yes, weird, disappointing and beautiful at the same time.
