...if your attitude is that life is meaningless and then you die, you may want to give this one a pass. Fogelman clearly believes life has meaning, even if we can't always see it for ourselves.

The less said about Life Itself -- a truly zany multi-timeline melodrama from the creator of that NBC show that makes everyone cry -- the better.

If you are up for a good cry - in fact, if you crave one - you will probably get it. But it may be more of a reflex than anything.

None of the characters in Life Itself are interesting on their own, so Fogelman attempts to gin them up some fake pathos through death, either theirs or someone near them.

Aimless incoherent treacle.

There is about as much honesty and genuine emotion in this film as you would find in a damage-control ExxonMobil commercial.

In Life Itself, everyone's fate is in the hands of Fogelman, and he wields that power with terrible cruelty.

This is a film that understands that life is messy but doesn't understand how to express that in any way that even remotely resembles life as we know it.

Fogelman tries to tug on the heartstrings by giving us a story full of people who go through some harrowing, emotional ordeals, but it constantly rings hollow.
September 20, 2018
Overall, his movie feels like an entire season of This Is Us compressed into two frustratingly uneven hours of tearjerking and grief porn.

One almost has to admire how perfectly awful Life Itself is.

The worst thing about Life Itself is not that it is emotionally sadistic. It's just how much it wants to be emotionally sadistic, while missing the mark by a mile.
