Review of Life Itself (2018) by Mrbeebe — 04 Sep 2019

I’m a fierce critic and usually run pretty much in step with major (famous) critics. Not this time! It’s probably hated by critics for being somewhat sentimental or perhaps overly so. I actually didn’t feel it was excessively sentimental. Critics hated Capra’s “Its A Wonderful Life” when it first hit screens. I almost did not watch it. Glad I did. Mark my words for what little they’re worth. 20 years from now it will be a classic favorite across generations.

It starts out quite unimpressively....stay with it. Think of how crazed the world is currently about DNA Lineage testing (finding our roots etc.). My personal thoughts at the end were after living 57 years with colossal failures, self inflicted wounds and damage to my marriage and two sons. My life matters and has meaning.
