The Life of Chuck - Review

I Contain Multitudes.

Review written by Jack Aling

The Life of Chuck is directed and written by Mike Flanagan.

In this extraordinary story of an ordinary man, Charles 'Chuck' Krantz experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.

Three short stories, all different in tone, but with one extraordinary constant: Chuck.

Mike Flanagan balances comforting warmth with existential dread, led by an ensemble cast of impressive names. Romanising life's seemingly small and intimate moments, though it's inconsistent in its delivery, I would be lying if I said I didn't fall for its charm.

Thanks Chuck!

Our verdict: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The Life of Chuck arrives in UK Cinemas August 22nd 2025
