“A film that’s as sweet as it is scary, and whose frights are the sort that come from all-too-relatable fears about being alone, being apart, and being unable to hold onto the people and memories that matter most.” (The Daily Beast)

“This is one of the best ensembles of the year, filled in with appearances by many of Flanagan’s past collaborators.” (RogerEbert.com)

“‘The Life of Chuck’ is miraculous, a feather in [Mike] Flanagan’s already-decorated cap, and a dance worth saying yes to.” (Film Obsessive)
