Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

This multi-generational love story centers on Oscar Isaac wooing the heck out of Olivia Wilde (and the rest of us by association!) as they go from young college students to married and expecting a child. But their story isn’t theirs alone, and the film explores the way certain events shape us, connect us, reverberate across continents and echo through lifetimes. Written and directed by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), the film also stars Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening, Olivia Cooke, Sergio Peris- Mencheta, Laia Costa, Alex Monner, Jean Smart, and Mandy Patinkin.

A tour-de-force. One hell of a cathartic experience about this crazy thing we call life

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

Life Itself begins with a cinematic shell game, with Fogelman pulling a short con on the viewer for no discernible reason.

A vapid exercise in narrative kitsch that spans two languages and multiple decades and love stories.
