Narrative
An uplifting, genre-bending story based on the novella by Stephen King, telling the story of three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz. Hiddleston is Loki and is best associated with the Thor (2011) films and the Loki (2021) television series, Gillan is Nebula and is best associated with the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) films, Ejiofor is Baron Mordo from the Doctor Strange (2016) films, while Dastmalchian is Kurt from the first 2 Ant-Man films and the Internet in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).

I went into Life of Chuck not knowing much about it beyond the fact that it was a Stephen King novella. I assumed it would be a horror film, and I was very wrong, in the best sense of the word.
Mike Flanagan was a director I was also unfamiliar with – so my expectations were pretty much empty
That said, Life of Chuck hit the mark on what makes a great horror film – strong and relatable characters with a unique and mysterious situation to put them in. I want to keep my critique relatively vague, because I think the hook of a film works best without it, knowing a lot.
I recommend it
I came away from the film feeling a mix of joy and melancholy, and appreciating the craftsmanship that brought me there.
