A Beautiful Life

Trailer was amazing! Been listening to Christophers music for years and was surprised to see him playing the lead role in a movie. This could have been an amazing film..

Production quality is good, cinematography is good and the music is amazing...but the story and script are not well made.

Something is just off. Its too cliche and too much drama for nothing for example at the beginning. It just doesnt feel right and real. Just for the sake of drama the characters seem to say and do things to build tension. Feels to rushed. The romance happens way to fast - One minute she is pissed all the time and doesn't respect him at all, the next minute... Nothing is really authentic, except when he starts to sing! They tried to hard to put as much drama as possible into it. The only thing missing was a deadly illness...

I really wanted to love the movie, to feel with the characters , but it was just average. A film for cozy sundays. Could have been so much more. The chemistry with the female lead role is also not believable enough for me.

Christopher is a massive talent. The songs are great. Watch it if you like cliche easy flat movies and love this kind of music.

Good songs and great voice but that's mostly it.

Can fill an evening / afternoon if you want a romcom with some music in it and you don't feel like searching.

A classical romcom with music as expected with an acceptable character synergy but a real lack of work on the story.

The movie feels quite lazy especially in terms of the main character backstory. There was potential in the central character if he was given an actually good backstory and evolution. The other character actually has more backstory but it also feels lackluster and poorly exploited. The movie just sticks to the classical trope of romantic movies with music as part of the plot.

PLUS: the music MINUS: predictable, lack of main character development.

The trailer is very representative of the movie. Down-on-his-luck good looking fellow had a chance at stardom (and love). The plot is both cliche and yet probably true in real life.

The first half is well-grounded but the second half feels rushed. The music is good although it never reveals the background story of each song. Acting is uneven and the movie is a reminder not to eat too much processed food as most of the actors have warts.

It is what it said on the tin. It's not trying to be Once or Sing Street and no Hemsworth brothers could sing and star in these type of romantic movie, I'll take it. A wonderful lazy Sunday movie while you're sipping tea and having biscuits.

Danish singer Christopher Lund Nissen, aka Christopher, composed and performed the soundtrack for this story of a fisherman with a troubled past who is discovered while playing a gig as support for his best friend Oliver. Christopher, with a sculpted face like that of a Greek god combined with a vulnerable angel, sings his heart out in this dramatic tale of creative and career success, love, and loss. Sometimes a 7 is the perfect film for the moment. I was engaged in the story, liked the supporting cast who were also very strong, enjoyed the music, and thought that Christopher nailed his role. Sweet film.

Stumbling upon the Danish movie "A Beautiful Life" on OTT was a pleasant surprise. Elliot, the lead guy and a Danish singer, steals hearts with his amazing voice. Each song resonates, adding a delightful layer to the narrative. The chemistry between Elliot and Lilly is charming, bringing a sweet touch to the storyline.

While the acting by the cast is commendable, the film falls short on depth in its storytelling. It leaves you wishing for more. You can get a 'A star is born' vibe. However, it is a nice one-time watch, thanks to the captivating musical moments and the genuine charm of the lead actors.
