This unforgettable, genre-bending tale celebrates the life of Chuck Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us—in reverse.
As the world unravels, Charles “Chuck” Krantz’s life is recalled in three acts, capturing joy, loss, and the quiet moments that make a life feel full. The Life of Chuck is a genre-defying exploration of what it means to truly be alive and have your life changed—in ways big and small—through the cast of characters you assemble throughout your lifetime. Tom Hiddleston anchors an extraordinary ensemble cast—including Matthew Lillard, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, and Mia Sara—in this Stephen King adaptation by Mike Flanagan that took home People's Choice Award honors at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"The Life of Chuck is not so much about raging at the dying of the light but about how we embrace the inevitability of death and the wonder of what comes before. It’s blockbuster metaphysics, a twinkle in the eye of the infinite." — Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
"The film is full of terrific performances that bring emotional truth to this curious, otherworldly story. All that’s missing is a Rod Serling introduction." — Keith Garlington, Keith & The Movies
"A magical, uplifting story that urges us to find joy and connection in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in." — Alise Chaffins, MacGuffin or Meaning
