Morgen kommt ein neuer Himmel

The Life List (2025) was surprisingly easy to sit through, even with its longer runtime. The pacing was pretty well-balanced, which helped a lot. I appreciated how the story packed in life lessons without getting preachy or feeling like it was dragging. It had this light tone that made it watchable while still trying to say something meaningful, even if it didn't always dig as deep as it could've.

The directing was a bit safe, and while that's not always a bad thing, I think the movie could've gone a little further with emotional depth. A lot of the focus is placed on how the main character reacts to situations, but sometimes it felt like the movie brushed past what actually mattered in the moment. The acting, though, made up for a lot of that. The leads did a solid job carrying the weight of the story. The supporting cast was hit-or-miss, but nothing that pulled me out of it.

Visually, it looked great. The cinematography was smooth, with a nice mix of bright tones and more grounded scenes that worked well with the mood. I also really liked the music choices. The soundtrack wasn't overwhelming but it blended in perfectly, adding just enough to keep the emotional beats working. The script had its flaws, sure, but it didn't feel forced. It served the story, and even if it leaned into familiar territory, it didn't lose its charm. All in all, it's not groundbreaking, but it's a comforting watch with a decent message.

Made me smile, made me cry and everything in between. Absolutely lovely and touching, showing a story about growth and change, as well as family relationships and a touch of romance.

Not every movie has my full attention, but this one has gripped me from the start. I don't think even a part of it was remotely boring or uninteresting or unimportant for the overall story.

Even though the main point of the movie was Alex trying to complete her life list that she made when she was a teenager, it didn't feel childish whatsoever. They approached it from a mature perspective and showed what growth and change for Alex looked like.

A rare movie without any violence, any explicit content, just so pure and touching.

Everyone's performance in this movie was amazing, and especially Sofia's.

Definitely worth watching!

The movie had an interesting premise, but the execution was disappointing. The biggest issue was the lead actress, who failed to convey any real emotion. Her performance felt lifeless, making it hard to connect with her character. She had absolutely no chemistry with anyone, especially the love interest, which made their relationship unconvincing and awkward. This seems to be a recurring problem in her other films as well. Weak direction, uninspired storytelling, and poor pacing only made things worse. The film lacked depth, excitement, and impact, making it ultimately forgettable. Too long for its own good.

I can't help but compare it with PS I Love You. Now they have different approaches and plot so it's hardly fair to do so but while watching this I just wish they dug deeper into it and the other movie kept popping out my mind.

It's not a bad movie by any means. It's soft and warm feeling when watching I did tear up in some scenes because I can relate with the deceased mother scenario so it felt more personal to me seeing a mother-daughter movie. It's very simple and predictable movie that tries to focus on character growth, familial bonding, love, career...basically life and having the better version of yourself. But that's the issue is that they skirted very lightly on these. There's just so many focus points that they never got that deep. Like for example I could hardly feel the grief coming from the siblings. They touched upon this here and there but nowhere near enough.

The movie feels too clean like they're afraid to get dirty with touching the themes but anyway the way they went about the list is good. It felt mature and not childish. I do like the chemistry between the leads. The characters aren't perfect and kinda messy too so they do feel real and not picture perfect fiction. Overall it's good enough for a watch.

The Life List is a nice watch - warm, well-paced, and not overly dramatic. What stayed with me most is the message: pain and loss are part of life, but suffering is a choice. That idea isn't presented in a preachy way - it's just woven into the characters' decisions, especially as the main character starts reconnecting with what actually matters.

The portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship was especially well done. It shows how grief can create distance but also bring people back together, without sugarcoating the process.

It's the kind of movie that makes you pause - not because it's groundbreaking, but because it reminds you of things you already knew but maybe forgot. Like how helping others can also heal something in you.
