Synopsis
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Film at the Toronto Film Festival! A life-affirming, genre-bending story based on Stephen King's novella, THE LIFE OF CHUCK details the life of Chuck Kranz, an ordinary accountant, told in reverse: from his death to his birth.
Adapted and directed by Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), THE LIFE OF CHUCK is told in three parts, exploring the importance of connection, love, and the self within the impossibly large vastness of life. Chuck (Tom Hiddleston) is at the end of his time on earth. As things around him begin to stop making sense, we move backwards through his life to discover the paths he ventured, the ones he chose to ignore, and the experiences that moulded him.
Also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Matthew Lillard, David Dastmalchian, Jacob Tremblay, and more, THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a coming-of-age story in reverse, and a beautiful exploration of our place within the universe.

Reviews
Despite his reputation as a master of horror, this side of Mike Flanagan has always been there. As a filmmaker, Flanagan deals in raw, go-for-broke emotion, it’s just that this time around he’s using that passion to affirm the audience, not disturb them.
The Life of Chuck is filled with delights, from wild tonal shifts between horror and naked sentimentality that work with surprising precision, to a litany of fun supporting characters played by Flanagan regulars, and a general rejection of cynicism even in the face of despondency.
