Critics feedback of Life itself does not matter to those of us that have experienced real loss and understand that life is one big tragedy and that exactly what the movie is trying to emulate. Although I cried half the time , I really enjoyed the movie, although execution could have been better , especially where they made us think that Olivia was alive however just wasn’t talking to her husband . I think the writers didn’t trust us the audience and hence it felt a little all over the place at first , but none the less, most of us got it. I really enjoyed it ... I’m giving it 3 starts. Also there wasn’t a need for Sam L Jackson
