I believe I speak for many others when I say that so many of the negative reviews were just outright ignorant and plain wrong. While this movie could arguably be compared to a soap opera, it is so much more than just a tear-jerking film. The truth is, the very fact that this movie has the ability to provoke tears just exemplifies how very true the meaning of this film is.
Whether we like to believe it or not, tragedy has defined the lives of so many. Every family, every person has experienced loss in some way. Our lives are but an intricate story of tragedy, love, and everything in between. I can honestly say I have never seen a film portray this realistic story of humankind so perfectly.
Raw emotions, meaningful dialogue, stellar acting, impressive directing, and the portrayal of real life problems all tied together in “Life Itself” in order to provoke thoughts and emotions within viewers. Throughout the film, one will feel compelled to recollect their own experiences and will ultimately be reminded of the reality that is life itself.
Bravo to the producer, the screenwriters, the actors, and everyone working behind the scenes to bring this film to life. Thank you for keeping the beauty in cinema by creating a piece of work that really makes you feel something.
I encourage you all to say to hell with the negative reviews & watch this film with an open mind and equally, an open heart.
