Mi lista de deseos

After watching this film, I could say it was inspired by P. S. I Love You, but changing it to a mother's love and showing her daughter that when you walk down the road of life you can get lost, and to find yourself, you need to remember what you wanted to be. Sofia Carson acts cleanly, showing sympathy and involving you in her character; certain parts can be perfectly related to one's life, making it clear that not everything is fiction.

There are several lines from the film that I can take away. And although the film is predictable: love always triumphs even after death, and if a mother sees her son lost, even with her last breath she will try to advise him and make him understand that we can't settle for less. Yes, I recommend the film, so put it on your list.

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!

It was precisely a refreshing movie , something new, something unexpected(at least in the beginning).

I don't have much to say about the acting and the direction as I found it to be good, I am not completely moved by the characters but it was a good watching them unravel in their own essence.

The bond between the mother and the daughter stayed with me the most, the way a mother helps her daughter sort her life even after her death was a very good concept. The concept of CDs and the in the chase of inheritance the daughter ends up figuring out her whole life which was beautiful.

I found it to be very predictable , but anyone who watches this movie would surely enjoy the process of it. It makes you want to have a family like what Alexandra Caroline Rose had, I would say she was really lucky to have them by her side always and she also gradually figured out their importance in the movie.

I liked how the brother and sister bond was shown, how they actually communicated through their emotions and how it was shown that just because your brother doesn't say anything or acts indifferent is not because he dislikes you but he might have his own insecurities or envies.

I liked the character of Alexandra who was fearless, bold and yet coy and was proudly a mess.

Overall it's a good watch, one must definitely watch it to lighten up their mood. I watched it with my mom, you should watch it with your beloved ones too.

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.
