Finally saw Life of Chuck last night, and goddamn, @mikeflanaganfilm.com did it again. It's a masterpiece that had me sitting in silence after the movie was over thinking about so much. I will be thinking about this movie for a long time. Definitely the best film I have seen this year.

Turns out @mikeflanaganfilm.com , @stephenking.bsky.social and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social were right: I just saw The Life of Chuck, and it really is excellent.

Well done, lads.

Been meaning to write this, so here goes:

Saw The Life Of Chuck in June and watched it twice this week at home and had the same reaction as before: I laughed, cried, laughed a bit more, and cried a lot more. Thank you @mikeflanaganfilm.com for sharing your gift of storytelling.

Finally got to see Life of Chuck after missing its way too brief theater run, and WOW that is the film we NEED today. Life affirming, joyful and uplifting despite the seemingly non-stop pain of life. Everyone should check out @mikeflanaganfilm.com masterpiece now, such a balm for the soul.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Life of Chuck (2024) Flanagan, for me, holds the same ground that the all time greats hold. Kubrick, Scorsese, Kurosawa, Fellini, Varda, all of these directors have a singular vision and focus, alongside unmatched talent ...

I finally had the chance to check out @mikeflanaganfilm.com The Life of Chuck. What an incredible piece of filmmaking. This one will stick with me forever. The dedication to Scott at the end was beautiful.

I know I am late to the party, but we watched @mikeflanaganfilm.com's Life of Chuck adaptation last night. I laughed. I cried. I remembered why I love cinema for storytelling. It was the best movie I'd seen in ages. Not a paid endorsement. Just me fanboying.

I knew I’d love anything by @mikeflanaganfilm.com so I bought THE LIFE OF CHUCK without reading a review. I’m glad that I did because I was surprised and dazzled by one of the most beautiful films I’ve seen in a decade.

Didn’t know that I needed this movie until I saw it.

Lately, when I doubt myself and my magic, I remind myself that just like Chuck, I contain multitudes. Thank you for giving me another piece of art that makes me feel oh so many things @mikeflanaganfilm.com

@mikeflanaganfilm.com Bought the Life of Chuck tonight, what a special film. I loved the short story and was just smiling and crying throughout, you nailed the melancholic but affirming message. The dancing is euphoric, Carl Lumbly is a treasure, Mia Sara is luminous, Scott Wampler forever.

Watching The Life of Chuck makes me want to create a letterboxd list called "Pure Joy," even though I don't know what else I would put on it. Thanks @mikeflanaganfilm.com. πŸ₯Ή

Go watch The Life of Chuck!!!! What an incredible film from @mikeflanaganfilm.com
It’s beautiful. Emotional. Soulful. Poetic. inspiring.

Everything you’d hope it would be, plus more. Easily one of the best films I’ve seen this year. I’d say… β€œperfectly splendid!” πŸŽ†

I hope this movie CLEANS UP on VOD. This was my favorite story from If It Bleeds by @stephenking.bsky.social which is saying a lot since I idolize Holly Gibney. I had no idea how it would translate to film but I should have known in @mikeflanaganfilm.com 's hands it would be perfect. 11/10 WATCH IT.

I can remember reading the 60 page short story by @stephenking.bsky.social called THE LIFE OF CHUCK and being totally floored by such an incredible story. The film adaptation by @mikeflanaganfilm.com has done the same thing. Beautiful filmmaking and acting. Loved it. I contain multitudes.

I didn’t get a chance to catch the Life of Chuck in theaters, but as expected, @mikeflanaganfilm.com killed it. Dude just gets Stephen King. Cannot wait for Dark Tower.

Thank you.

The Life of Chuck is the purest expression of SK’s voice through MF’s eyes. It confirms what’s been clear for yearsβ€”he’s one of the most emotionally literate writer/directors working today. Top five of the past decade.

Nope - we have the actual car from CHRISTINE at the beginning, but the car at the dance is a cardboard Delorean from BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Flanagan is a very good filmmaker, and it’s not my place to heap praise on him. Perhaps his greatest achievement is making me feel as if I’m encountering works I’ve read dozens of times and know very well for the first time. He reintroduced me to Chuck. Thank you Sir. @mikeflanaganfilm.com #FilmSky

@mikeflanaganfilm.com I don't get emotional in movies often, but I finally watched Life of Chuck last night and kept it together, mostly, until the dedication to Scott Wampler, and then I lost my shit. Thank you for yet again hitting a home run.

Yesterday I had to usher my best friend of 17 years to the Rainbow Bridge. Today I discovered that THE LIFE OF CHUCK released digitally and was finally able to see it. Balm in Gilead.

Thank you @mikeflanaganfilm.com for making The Life of Chuck into 3 separate acts - I am currently watching it in both forward and backward order on repeat, and I can't decide which way I like it better. Another hit entirely out of the ballpark
