From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Director Mike Flanagan comes THE LIFE OF CHUCK, the extraordinary story of an ordinary man. This powerful tale celebrates the life of Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us. Critics call the film “a life-affirming masterpiece” and “a stunning celebration of the moments that make life worth living.” Rated R for language, but does not contain violence or explicit content.
The Life of Chuck, is destined to follow in the foot-steps of Stephen King’s other works turned into film, like Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and Stand By Me. You know you have found cinematic gold when critics drop tag line reviews such as, “Truly Profound and Magical, the Best Stephen King film ever made” and “An emotional epic, ‘The Wonderful Life’ for today.” The Life of Chuck earns 4 stars from Boston Globe film critic Odie Henderson, “one of this year’s best movies.” The film “feels like the coziest of blankets enveloping you in the theater. … I can see it becoming a beloved favorite in the same way ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ultimately did. Like that classic, this one really makes you think about life and the things we take for granted.”
