Moviegoers are saying
This afterlife romantic comedy has audiences split between its vibrant visual palette and conceptual ambitions versus its execution, with many finding the premise of dating and working in the afterlife more horrifying than romantic. While reviewers praise the cast (especially Callum Turner's screen presence) and appreciate the film's colorful cinematography as a refreshing break from muted color grading, the consensus suggests it plays things too safe when bolder choices could have elevated the material.

A charming Elizabeth Olsen must choose between two men in the afterlife. The trouble with this often-beguiling romp is that it takes an eternity to wrap up. Too bad no one ever learns how to quit while they’re ahead.

It’s quirky, a little unpredictable, and never feels like warmed-over leftovers. There’s a bite to things – an edginess that doesn’t cut too deeply but keeps the sentimentality in check. One of the year’s most pleasant surprises.

Hard to ding something for wanting to be a cult rom-com so badly, especially when it’s so well-acted.
